Abstract:
Although gallbladder (GB) perforation due to acalculous cholecystitis after kidney transplantation is rarely observed, it can be life threatening and result in cholecystectomy. Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is also rare and may require invasive therapy depending on its diameter. We report herein the case of a 69-year-old female who developed GB perforation due to acalculous cholecystitis after kidney transplantation and underwent cholecystectomy. The patient was later invasively treated when CCA was detected by coronary angiography.
