From Dr. Rosenblum, "The patient did not actually have cholecystitis but rather passive congestion due to elevated central venous pressure from tamponade physiology as blood filled the pericardium due to the proximal aortic aneurysm (mimicking acute cholecystitis). I have seen this once before when a patient had a subacute VSD after a missed MI." Thanks for the great question! -MB

Thanks for sharing these excellent lectures
Could you please tell me what was the reason for cholecystitis in the guy with aortic aneurysm? I did not hear the reason for it. Thanks
+Michael Ko We will ask and get back with you!
