An ultrasound of the upper abdomen revealed cholelithiasis. A consult with a gastroenterologist determined that cholelithotripsy was considered but it was decided that a laparoscopic cholecystectomy would be the first procedure attempted. If complications were encountered then an open cholecystectomy would be performed. Significant medical history: patient had a coronary angiography performed at age 46 following suspected MI (myocardial infarction). -Give definitions for the BELOW medical terms taken from the Medical Record:” ultrasound - cholelithiasis - gastroenterologist - cholelithotripsy - laparoscopic cholecystectomy - open cholecystectomy - coronary angiography - MI (myocardial infarction) -arrow_forward
