- W90047457 abstract "BACKGROUND Cholesterol crystal embolism (CCE) from atherosclerotic arterial disease leading to perforation of the gallbladder is rare. We describe our experience of managing a patient with perforation of gallbladder caused by CCE. METHODS A 64-year-old man was admitted to this hospital because of acute abdominal pain with clinical features suggestive of peritonitis. He was known to suffer from atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease and had undergone aortobifemoral bypass 17 years ago. A CT scan showed a collection of peri-hepatic fluid. The gallbladder was normal in appearance but contained multiple calculi. At laparotomy, free bile was observed in the peritoneal cavity, leaking from a pin-hole size peroration of the fundus of the gallbladder. Hence cholecystectomy was performed. RESULTS The patient made an uneventful recovery. Histological study of the gallbladder showed chronic cholecystitis and obliteration of the lumen of the mural arteries with cholesterol crystals within, indicating CCE. CONCLUSIONS Although perforation of the gallbladder following CCE of its mural arteries is rare, the diagnosis should be considered in patients with abdominal pain and known atherosclerotic arterial disease. Management should include an early recognition of this condition, prompt institution of treatment, prevention of further insults by discontinuing or avoiding predisposing factors, and modification of cardiovascular risk factors." @default.
