Routine surveillance cholangiography after percutaneous cholecystostomy delays drain removal and cholecystectomy

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2017
Introduction Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is often performed for patients with acute cholecystitis who are at high risk for operative morbidity and mortality. However, the necessity for routine cholangiography after PC remains unclear.

CO2 or air cholangiography reduces the risk of post-ERCP cholangitis in patients with Bismuth type IV hilar biliary obstruction

BMC Gastroenterology, 2020
Background Endoscopic biliary stenting by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the most common form of palliation for malignant hilar obstruction. However, ERCP in such cases is associated with a risk of cholangitis.
