Acute appendicitis is one of the most common abdominal surgical emergencies. A laparoscopic or open appendectomy has traditionally been the gold standard. Antibiotic therapy has recently been found to be noninferior. The treatment of acute uncomplicated appendicitis remains a challenge, especially in the presence of an appendicolith. We present a case of a 59-year-old man with recent ST-elevation myocardial infarction who underwent successful endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy.
急性阑尾炎是最常见的腹部外科急症之一。传统上,腹腔镜或开腹阑尾切除术一直是金标准。最近发现抗生素治疗并不逊色。急性单纯性阑尾炎的治疗仍然是一项挑战,尤其是在存在阑尾结石的情况下。我们报告一例59岁近期发生ST段抬高型心肌梗死的男性患者,其接受了成功的内镜逆行阑尾炎治疗。
