title: Congestive heart failure associated with endoscopic cholecystectomy: a case report.
abstract: 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.
