This syndrome describes compression of the common hepatic duct
What is Mirizzi syndrome. It can be caused by a stone in the gallbladder infundibulum or inflammation arising from the gallbladder or cystic duct extending to the hepatic duct, causing hepatic duct stricture.

Most common stone type in U.S.
What are Cholesterol stones? They account for 75% of GB stones in U.S. They are caused by stasis, calcium, increased water reabsorption from the gallbladder.

Black pigmented stones are caused by the following conditions.
What are hemolytic disorders, cirrhosis, ileal resection, chronic TPN.
300
This is the most common cause of biliary strictures.
What is ischemia secondary to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Other causes include chronic pancreatitis, gallbladder CA, bile duct CA.

Cholangiocarcinoma of bile duct at the junction of the right and left hepatic ducts
What is Klatskin's tumor. This is the most common location for cholangiocarcinoma. It is associated with the worst prognosis. Can try lobectomy and stenting of the contralateral bile duct if localized to either the right or left lobe.

Gas in gallbladder wall is usually secondary to which pathogen?
What is clostridium perfringens. These patients are more likely to perforate. Treatment is usually emergent cholecystectomy of percutaneous drainage if patient is unstable.
500
name of the epithelial invagination in the gallbladder wall.
What is Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses. They are formed from increased gallbladder pressure. They are often associated with cholelithiasis and cholecystitis.

Stimuli that causes decreased bile excretion?
What is somatostain, sympathetic stimulation.
500
Most common pathogen to cause brown pigment stones.
What is E. Coli. It produces beta-glucuco=uronidase, which deconjugates bilirubin with formation of calcium bilirubinate.

Name three risk factors for development of cholangiocarcinoma.
What is C. sinensis infection, ulcerative colitis, choledochal cysts, primary sclerosing cholangitis, chronic bile duct infection. Early these patients present with painless jaundice. Late they present with weight loss, pruritus.
500
Classic symptom presentation of hemobilia.
What is UGI bleed, jaundice, and RUQ pain. Hemobilia is most often caused by a fistula between the bile duct and the hepatic arterial system. This is often the result of trauma or percutaneous instrumentation to the liver.
