W B Slot et al. Neth J Med. 1995 Feb.

Abstract

Emphysematous cholecystitis is a serious disorder with a high mortality and morbidity. We report successful drainage of the gallbladder in a male diabetic patient with emphysematous cholecystitis in whom surgery was considered contraindicated because of his poor cardiac status.
