Clinical Trial: Prospective Evaluation of an Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-Based Artificial Intelligence to Assist in the Deployment of Lumen Apposing Metal Stents for Gallbladder Drainage

U.S., May 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06981052) titled 'Prospective Evaluation of an Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-Based Artificial Intelligence to Assist in the Deployment of Lumen Apposing Metal Stents for Gallbladder Drainage' on April 24.

Brief Summary: Lumen apposing metal stents are now being used to help patients who suffer from cholecystitis (infection of the gallbladder), especially in cases where patients are not candidates for surgery. Lumen apposing metal stents are effective for draining the gallbladder, however, placement is technically challenging. Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence to aid doctors in the deployment of these stents into the gallbladder. The a...
