JOURNAL ARTICLE
[A case of acalcuous cholecystitis developed after cardiopulmonary resuscitation].
Journal of UOEH 2009 March 2
A 47-year-old man was found at his home in a state of cardiopulmonary arrest. His family performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him. He was brought to our hospital by ambulance. On arrival, his pupils were dilated and his heart was in a state of ventricular fibrillation. After returning to spontaneous circulation by the cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the electrocardiogram revealed ST elevation at V2-V5. Cardiac catheterizatin revealed a left anterior descending coronary obstruction. Percutaneous coronary angioplasty was performed. On the 26th day after admission, acalculous cholecystitis was found. It was difficult to perform emergent surgery, because the patient was taking an anticoagulant drug. We performed PTGBA (percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder aspiration) on the same day, and the gallbladder inflammation was improved. We consider that PTGBA is an effective treatment for difficult cases of acalcuous cholecystitis.
