Abstract:
The clinical data of a 43 year old male with acute myocardial infarction and acute abdominal syndrome on the 4th day after the onset of infarction is reported. During abdominal surgery, a gall bladder abscess was found and a cholecystectomy was performed, without abdominal or cardiac complications. This report emphasizes the rare association of these entities and that even in evolving myocardial infarction surgery can be performed with reasonable risk. The collaboration of cardiologist, surgeon and anesthesiologist is suggested.
