%X Acute cholecystitis is a common cause of Emergency Department presentation and hospital admission. It is usually treated with early surgical removal of the gallbladder; however, some patients may not be fit to undergo the procedure due to critical illness or comorbidities. In these patients, options are limited. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography interventions in this population are not well-studied. We present a case of a high-risk 59 year old female patient with a history of end-stage renal disease, heart failure, hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, and type 2 diabetes who presented with acute cholecystitis. She was successfully treated with cystic duct disimpaction without stenting, and continues to do well post-procedure with complete resolution of symptoms and abnormal lab findings.
