Gallbladder ef 17% does it have to come out? how bad is surgery if u have heart conditions atrial septal defect and asa.

Depends: Are you having abdominal symptoms that would indicate your gallbladder is bothering you? Why was the hida scan done? Did the cck injection cause symptoms? Gallstoes present? Surgery only if the gallbladder is causing symptoms. Probably safe for anesthesia but need to ask your primary doctor or your cardiologist what your personal risks are.

Cardiology clearance: It sounds like you have biliary dyskinesia. Surgery will relieve symptoms in about 70% of patients with this diagnosis. You should see a cardiologist for clearance prior to surgery (he will be able to evaluate your cardiac risk) and recommend any optimization you might need.

Unclear: Gb ef is not the only factor in determining if the gb should be removed, so more info is needed. An ASD & atrial septal aneurysm should not greatly increase the surgical risk, although extra care should be taken to avoid air bubbles in any IV lines because of the possibility of paradoxical embolism, where those bubbles could cross to the left heart & cause problems like a stroke or a heart attack.
