We report the case of a patient who presented with a life-threatening upper gastro-intestinal bleeding due to erosion of the cystic artery by cholecystolithiasis and cholecystitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ultrasonography is the initial diagnostic procedure of choice in most cases of suspected gallbladder or biliary tract disease (see Workup). The treatment of gallstones depends upon the stage of disease. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The discussion in this chapter will focus primarily on the workup and manage- ment of patients with syndromes caused by CBD stones. [slideshare.net]

During the 2000s, a critical appraisal of management options[26-28] and the diffusion of new diagnostic examinations led to a more cautious, patient-tailored preoperative workup, based on patient risk of carrying CBDS[3,29,30], and management, based on [wjgnet.com]

RESULTS: Before treatment, the LI, UCB%, BSI and Z-value in the LDG treated group were 1.298 /- 0.265, 34.72 /-2.96, 0.353 /-0.093 and 0.556 /-0.499, respectively, which was decreased after the 2-week treatment to 0.926 /-0.208, 8.93 /-1.19, 0.154 /-0.056 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment may involve: Surgery to remove the gallbladder and stones ERCP and a procedure called a sphincterotomy, which makes a surgical cut into the muscle in the common bile duct to allow stones to pass or be removed Outlook (Prognosis) Blockage and [nch.adam.com]

Treatment and prognosis Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy is the treatment of choice for choledocholithiasis, however, is associated with a complication rate of 5.8-24% (10 years follow-up) 1. [radiopaedia.org]

Because the prognosis is controversial, it is very unusual for any surgical intervention to occur after imaging-based diagnosis of adenomyomatosis itself, but surgical treatments are often considered in cases associated with stones or cholecystitis [synapse.koreamed.org]
