title: Current therapy of impending myocardial infarction and acute cholecystitis.
abstract: The authors discuss the treatment of severe coronary artery disease and acute cholecystitis using laparoscopic laser in one instance and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in the other. Their report demonstrates that both can be applied with relative safety in close temporal proximity.
