Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography (PTHC) in Acute Cholecystitis and Clinical Outcomes
Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography (PTHC) in Acute Cholecystitis and Clinical Outcomes
In a setting of acute cholecystitis (AC) one of the treatment option is percutaneous
 transhepatic cholangiography (PTHC) drainage. The goal of current study is to evaluate some
 radiology aspects and correlate with clinical patient outcomes in patients with acute
 cholecystitis severity grade III (presented as acute cholecystitis with organ dysfunction).
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  clinical markers of acute cholecystitis

 -  diagnosis confirmed with some imaging technique: computed tomography (CT), ultrasound
