Abstract
|
|
|
|
Endoscopic gallbladder drainage (EGBD) has been used to treat acute cholecystitis or to relieve malignant biliary obstruction as an alternative to percutaneous gallbladder drainage and patient's are poor surgical candidates. This is currently being performed by placement of lumen apposing metallic stent (LAMS) with electrocautery mounted tip delivery system also called as "hot" technique. We had reported a case of self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) within LAMS after stent migration during EGBD using "hot" technique and propose routine use of guidewire in patients undergoing the procedure.
