BACKGROUND Percutaneous cholecystostomy is used for a variety of clinical problems. METHODS Percutaneous cholecystostomy was utilized in a novel setting to resolve a problematic endoscopic situation. METHODS Percutaneous cholecystostomy permitted successful removal of a broken and trapped endoscopic biliary catheter, in addition to helping treat cholecystitis. CONCLUSIONS Another valuable use of percutaneous cholecystostomy is demonstrated, as well as emphasizing the importance of the interplay between endoscopists and interventional radiologists.
