[Conservative cholelitholysis in the calculus-congested gallbladder].
Daily administration of 500 mg ursodeoxycholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid (divided into two doses, morning and evening, corresponding to 8.5 mg per kg body-weight and substance), all concrements in the gall-bladder were dissolved over a period of 14 months in a 60-year-old man for whom surgical treatment was contra-indicated because of severe coronary heart disease. This case illustrates that, in the face of a high operative risk, the attempt to dissolve stones in the gall-bladder by drugs is justified.
