Congestive heart failure associated with endoscopic cholecystectomy: a case report.
Endoscopic cholecystectomies or laparoscopic cholecystectomies are becoming relatively commonplace in major medical centers throughout the United States. Very few anesthesia complications have been attributed to the procedure. This is a case report of congestive heart failure occurring during the procedure itself, which could have implications for patient management and selection.
