Percutaneous Creation of Gastrointestinal Anastomosis via Lumen-Apposing Metallic Stents for Gallbladder Drainage

Researchers discuss the emerging frontier of percutaneous cholecysto-enteric anastomoses for internal drainage of the gallbladder, focusing on the percutaneous delivery and deployment of lumen-apposing metallic stents. The study highlights the efficacy and safety of using these stents for creating gastrointestinal anastomosis, providing a less invasive option for gallbladder drainage compared to traditional surgical procedures.
