Pancreatic pseudocyst in a gastrectomized patient: Treatment with internalized endoprosthesis

Gastrointestinal Radiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Direct percutaneous drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts in communication with the duct of Wirsung can lead to pancreaticocutaneous fistula. These patients are safely treated with the percutaneous transgastric approach. In a gastrectomized patient who developed a pseudocyst, we percutaneously placed in internal endoprosthesis from the duct of Wirsung to the afferent loop and gastric pouch.
