A case of acute acalculous cholecystitis after pulmonary vein isolation—novel phenotype of perioesophageal vagal nerve injury: a case report
Vagal nerve injury appears to be related to the development of acute acalculous cholecystitis because many patients with acute cholecystitis after abdominal surgery along with resection of vagal nerve have acute acalculous cholecystitis. We speculate that acute acalculous cholecystitis after pulmonary vein isolation is one phenotype of perioesophageal vagal nerve injury.
