The study will include patients with stone related cholecystitis that are not adequate surgical candidates that will be treated with EUS guided cholecystoenterostomy with endoscopic stone extraction. Patients will be randomized to stent removal immediately after gallstones have been removed or to observation for 1 year with the stent in place. Outcomes to be measured include recurrence of stone disease and rate of complications from the procedure in both groups
