Eighteen female and 19 male patients were included into this study between the ages of 7 and 88 years. All of our patients had acute cholecystitis or eventually developed acute cholecystitis except one. Seven year old male patient with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma underwent percutaneous cholecystostomy due to elevation of liver function tests and direct bilirubin. Since he had dilated intrahepatic biliary ducts due to a lymphadenopathy compression at portal hilus, percutaneous cholecystostomy was performed to decompress the biliary system to decrease the bilirubin and liver function tests to normal levels for initiating appropriate chemotherapy protocol. All the procedures were carried under fluoroscopic and sonographic guidance through transhepatic or transperitoneal approach with 6 to 10 F drainage catheters.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Recovery from the acute cholecystitis symptoms was achieved in 31 patients (86%) in follow-up. No procedure-related mortality was observed. The only major complication was intraperitoneal bleeding due to underlying coagulopathy which was treated with blood transfusion. Eight patients (21.6%) died in 30 days after the percutaneous intervention procedure. In the patient with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma at the age of 7, however, the procedure to decrease the bilirubin levels was successful and chemotherapy was given subsequently; he had died after 31 days due to his aggressive primary disease. Catheterization times were between 2 days and 60 days due to accompanied diseases. Six patients (16.7%) were finally undergone to cholecystectomy after the risks for surgery had been reduced.
