Management and outcomes of antithrombotic therapy in EUS-guided gallbladder drainage.

Background And Aims: EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is increasingly used for the management of gallbladder disease in patients at high risk for cholecystectomy. These patients often have underlying medical comorbidities requiring anticoagulation and/or antiplatelet therapy. We evaluated the safety, management, and outcomes of EUS-GBD in patients being treated with antithrombotic therapy (ATT).
