Article Synopsis
- Acute cholecystitis (AC) is primarily caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, but can also result from ischemic conditions, particularly in patients with heart disease, leading to higher complication risks.
- This study at the National Medical Center in Mexico City looked at 18 patients with both AC and cardiac disease, aiming to understand their characteristics and identify complications after surgery.
- Key findings included that right-sided abdominal pain was common, with gallbladder wall thickening and perivesicular fluid being prevalent on imaging; intraoperative complications like empyema and necrosis occurred in over half the patients.
