Abstract:
Concomitant cholelithiasis and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is not uncommon. Cholecystectomy at the time of aneurysm repair was delayed in patients with asymptomatic cholelithiasis due to the possibility of the graft infection. If a patient is subjected to a high risk of aneurysmal rupture and symptomatic cholelithiasis, the combined cholecystectomy and aneurysm repair should be performed. With the advent of the minimally invasive surgery, minimal invasive approach is widely adopted in patients with cholelithiasis and AAA. We reported one patient who had symptomatic cholelithiasis and AAA, successfully treated with the laparoscopic cholecystectomy and endovascular AAA repair.
