![]() No patient with a partially occluded cystic duct with or without concomitant chronic cholecystitis had an ejection fraction that exceeded 22%. All patients underwent a surgical exploration and all had macro- or microscopically abnormal cystic ducts with (12 patients) or without (2 patients) concomitant chronic cholecystitis. Background corrected gallbladder ejection fractions (GBEFs) were determined every 5 min X 4 by rationing the pre-CCK GB counts minus post-CCK GB counts to pre-CCK GB counts. When the GB maximally filled, 0.02 microgram/kg CCK was administered (3 min) intravenously. Each patient received 5 mCi of technetium-99m disofenin. None of the patients had an abnormal oral cholecystography, gallbladder (GB) ultrasound exam or upper GI series. All patients presented with persistent postprandial right upper quadrant pain and biliary colic. ![]() Rapp, J.įourteen patients with a cystic duct syndrome (CDS) underwent cholecystokinin (CCK) cholescintigraphy.
