cystic duct

None of their patients had cystic duct stones.

Biliary colic - Caused by obstruction of the cystic duct.

Possibly a congenital abnormal connection was present between the cystic duct and the right biliary system.

In addition, a small fistulous tract originating from the cystic duct stump was diagnosed.

On the day after the third treatment, the stone in the cystic duct was not detectable and the gall bladder had collapsed.

The usual treatment for cholecystitis with occlusion of the cystic duct is surgical cholecystectomy.

Bile is made in the liver then travels to the gallbladder through a channel called the cystic duct.

Gallstones can enter and obstruct the cystic duct, preventing the flow of bile.

Cholecystitis - Caused by blockage of the cystic duct with surrounding inflammation, usually due to infection.

The cystic duct attaches the gallbladder to the common bile duct.

In projection onto the cystic duct, a stone of 12 mm diameter with acoustic shadowing was seen (Fig 1).

Therefore, we carried out a shock wave lithotripsy of the impacted stone in the cystic duct despite contraindications.

Only two of the patients with residual cystic duct stones were advised to undergo cholecystectomy and the remainder are asymptomatic.

It forms one edge of Calot's triangle, along with the cystic duct and the cystic artery.

The cystic artery supplies oxygenated blood to the gallbladder and cystic duct.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography showed the cystic duct and the ductus choledochus to be free of stones.

The cystic duct, which connects the gallbladder to the common bile duct, is open and can allow stones to pass.

It is formed by the union of the common hepatic duct and the cystic duct (from the gall bladder).

Amussat's valves: Spiral valves within the cystic duct.

If the gallbladder is not visualized within 4 hours after the injection, this indicates either cholecystitis or cystic duct obstruction.

Obstruction of the cystic duct and cholecystitis are regarded as absolute contraindications for gall stone lithotripsy.

The endoscope retrograde cholangiography confirmed the diagnosis of an occluding stone in the cystic duct (Fig 3).

The cystohepatic triangle is the area bound by the cystic duct, common hepatic duct, and the liver margin.

The cystic duct is the anatomical structure that joins the gall bladder to the common bile duct.

The neck of gallbladder is the portion of the gallbladder which lies the closest to the cystic duct.
