Gallstone dissolution by methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) via percutaneous transhepatic cholecystostomy.

Abstract
Dissolution of gallbladder stones with MTBE appears to be an effective and safe treatment for patients with symptomatic gallstones who are unfit for surgery. However, the procedure is tedious and the stone recurrence rate is as yet unknown.
