Brief Summary

Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is an effective treatment for cholecystitis in surgical high risk patients. However, there has been no definite agreement of the additional cholecystectomy in these patients. The investigators surveyed the clinical outcomes of the PC in surgical high risk patients. And the investigators tried to prove the PC can be appropriate and ultimate treatment for acute cholecystitis patients with critical illness through this study.
