Abstract:
An 86-year-old woman who suffered from cardiac tamponade due to acute Stanford type A aortic dissection was admitted to our hospital. An emergency operation was performed uneventfully. She suffered from abdominal pain 13 days after the operation. Computed tomography( CT) scan revealed pericholecystic fluid and unclear gallbladder wall, revealing acalculous necrotizing cholecystitis. We performed open cholecystectomy and abdominal cavity drainage. No gallstones were observed. She underwent intensive treatment. She was discharged without complications 44 days after the cholecystectomy.
