About This Recurrent Cholecystitis Study in Rochester

This randomized trial will look at whether placing two cystic duct stents is more effective than one cystic duct stent in preventing recurrent gallbladder disease (cholecystitis, gallstone pancreatitis, or biliary colic) among patients who are not immediate surgical candidates for removal of their gallbladder. The study will evaluate the safety profile, including rates of recurrent cholecystitis, biliary colic, and procedure-related complications, and technical success, defined as successful placement of stents into the gallbladder. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does placement of two transpapillary cystic duct stents reduce the risk of recurrent symptomatic gallbladder disease compared to one stent? 2. Is there a difference in procedure-related adverse events (post-ERCP pancreatitis, cholangitis, stent migration) between the two strategies? Researchers will compare outcomes between patients randomized to one stent versus two stents to determine which approach provides better long-term gallbladder drainage and fewer recurrent events. Participants will: Be evaluated for eligibility and provide informed consent prior to undergoing an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), an endoscopy where a guidewire is placed into the bile duct from the small intestine. They will then undergo ERCP with transpapillary cystic duct stent placement, randomized to one or two stents. All participants will receive standard post-procedure care and follow-up assessments for recurrence, adverse events, and need for reintervention.
