Conditions
Interventions
Gallbladder aspiration
Percutaneous ultrasound-guided aspiration of bile from the gallbladder. This is performed without leaving a drain in the gallbladder. The aspiration is performed with the intention to relief the pressure in the gallbladder, without drain.
Cholecystostomy
Ultrasound-guided insertion of drain in the gallbladder. The drain is left in the gallbladder until clinical assessment and laboratory analyses show that the acute cholecystitis has been successfully treated.
