With technological advances in endoscopic ultrasonography, endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) was introduced as a treatment option for acute cholecystitis. Recently, new studies have emerged, suggesting that EUS-GBD has a lower adverse event rate and reintervention rate, when compared to percutaneous drainage and endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage. There is growing interest in the different technical aspects of EUS-GBD, such as the puncture approach, choice of stents, and long-term management.

Purpose Of Review: In this review, we discuss the role of endoscopic gallbladder drainage for acute cholecystitis in non-surgical candidates, describe technical aspects, clinical outcomes, and elaborate on considerations when determining which approach to adopt for a given patient.
Recent Findings: Cholecystectomy remains the criterion standard for management of acute cholecystitis in patients who can safely undergo surgery. For non-surgical candidates, percutaneous cholecystostomy (PTC-GBD) has been the traditional strategy to drain and decompress the gallbladder.
