“…It also has a favorable technical success rate ranging from 78% to 100%, and a clinical success rate ranging from 90.3% to 95% . Further, according to a systematic review, the rates of adverse events following ETGBD are lower compared to PTGBD, although post‐ERCP pancreatitis is still an important problem . However, ETGBD is technically challenging, as deep biliary cannulation must be done to approach the gallbladder.…”

Early surgical treatment using the laparoscopic approach is generally accepted as the treatment of choice for acute cholecystitis (AC) according to Tokyo Guidelines 2018 (TG2018). If the patient is a poor candidate for surgery because of the presence of advanced malignancy or severe organ failure, this treatment may be too invasive. In such cases, gallbladder drainage is considered an alternative treatment method to surgery. Several drainage methods have been established, such as percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) or endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETGBD) under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), including endoscopic naso‐gallbladder drainage (ENGBD) and endoscopic gallbladder stenting (EGBS). PTGBD is a well‐established procedure that is relatively easily carried out by general clinicians. And ETGBD has been developed as an alternative drainage method. The procedure also calls for guidewire passage across the cystic duct. Therefore, in AC cases who are contraindicated for surgery, PTGBD should be considered before ETGBD, and ETGBD may be considered only in high‐volume institutes where expert hands are available, as described in the TG2018. However, there are several limitations to these procedures. Recently, endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage (EUS‐GBD) is increasingly being done as an alternative method to PTGBD and ETGBD. In this review, the current status and problems of EUS‐GBD are reviewed, including technical review and clinical data of previous papers, current indication, long‐term outcome, and comparison data with PTGBD or ETGBD, and their future prospects are discussed.

“…PTGBD may be inappropriate for patients with uncorrectable coagulopathy or massive ascites. Moreover, patient discomfort and postprocedure pain have been associated with the percutaneous drainage catheters [46,47].…”

Diseases of the gallbladder commonly manifest as cholelithiasis and gallbladder cancer. Cholelithiasis has become a significant health problem in developed societies, affecting 10-15% of the adult population. Gallbladder polyps are incidentally detected in approximately 4-7% of patients. In addition, other gallbladder problems may also occur, but these are extremely rare: remnant cystic duct, gallbladder anomalies, Mirizzi syndrome, and gallbladder parasites. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is an excellent method for visualizing the bile duct and gallbladder given its proximity when imaging from the duodenum. EUS can be used for evaluation of gallbladder disease that includes investigation of suspected cholelithiasis or biliary sludge, imaging of polypoid lesions of the gallbladder, and diagnosis and staging of gallbladder cancer. This procedure can be helpful to further distinguish benign from malignant or potentially malignant gallbladder polyps and play an important role in determining the treatment strategy for gallbladder polyps. Furthermore, EUS can help in the diagnosis of rarely gallbladder diseases such as remnant cystic duct, gallbladder anomalies, Mirizzi syndrome, and gallbladder parasites. Recent studies have suggested that EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) can be considered to be an effective emergency treatment for acute cholecystitis patients at high risk for surgery.
