Cholestasis and obstructive jaundice can be extrahepatic or intrahepatic. Here we present one case with calculous cholecystitis who presenting with repeated obstructive jaundice and without bile duct dilation. The patient received laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and cystohepatic duct was identified intraoperatively, there was no cholestasis or obstructive jaundice postoperatively. Cystohepatic duct is a rare biliary anomaly observed in 0.7% of all surgical cases and in 1.5% of all cadaveric dissections. The cystohepatic duct can be the bridge of calculous cholecystitis complicating cholangitis and obstructive jaundice, here we for the first time presented this entity.

Cardiogenic shock with bradycardia due to beta-blockers is well-documented; however, this condition in association with arotinolol is unreported. We present a case of cardiogenic shock resulting from delayed arotinolol clearance caused by bile duct obstruction. A man in his 60s presented to our hospital with jaundice.

Malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ) encompasses a range of diseases stemming from malignant tumors such as cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and primary liver cancer, among others, which cause obstruction in both intra- and extra-hepatic bile ducts. This obstruction may lead to elevated bilirubin levels, hepatic function impairment, and a low rate of successful surgical resection in clinical settings. There are various minimally invasive treatment options for MOJ, including endoscopic biliary drainage, ultrasound-guided procedures, and percutaneous biliary tract puncture drainage.
