An Analysis of Outcomes and Management Strategies for Patients With Cholecystostomy Tubes

Abstract: Background Percutaneous cholecystostomy tube (PCT) drainage is an effective management strategy for acute cholecystitis in patients medically unfit for surgery. However, little is known about the fate of patients managed by PCT. We conducted this study to determine tube management outcomes for patients with acute cholecystitis managed by PCT.
