PURPOSE Patients with acute calculus cholecystitis and contraindications to cholecystectomy receive cholecystostomy drainage catheters, many of which remain in place until end of life. This study aims to assess safety, feasibility, and early clinical outcomes of percutaneous cholecystoscopy using the LithoVue endoscope, laser/mechanical cholelithotripsy, and mechanical cholelithotomy for management of symptomatic cholelithiasis. METHODS This was a single-institute retrospective analysis of 17 patients with acute calculus cholecystitis who had contraindications to cholecystectomy, underwent cholecystostomy catheter placement between 2015 and 2017, and stone removal between 2017 and 2018. The LithoVue 7.7- 9.5 F endoscope was used in combination with laser/mechanical cholelithotripsy, mechanical retrograde, and balloon-assisted anterograde cholelithotomy to remove gallstones and common bile duct stones. Surgical contraindications ranged from cardiopulmonary disease to morbid obesity to neoplastic processes. Timing and number of interventions, as well as technical and clinical successes, were assessed. RESULTS The median time interval from cholecystostomy catheter placement to cholelithotripsy was 58 days, after an average of 2 tube exchange procedures. Technical and clinical success were achieved in all patients (stone-free gallbladder and cholecystostomy tube removal). On average, three sessions of cholecystoscopy and laser and mechanical cholelithotripsy were required for complete gallstone extraction. The mean interval time between the first cholelithotripsy session and removal of cholecystostomy was 71.8±60.8 days. There were neither major nor minor procedure-related complications. CONCLUSION Percutaneous cholecystoscopy using the LithoVue endoscope, in combination with laser/ mechanical cholelithotripsy and mechanical cholelithotomy, is feasible, safe, well-tolerated, and was able to remove the cholecystostomy tube in the patients with contraindication to cholecystectomy.
