In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

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 out
