Percutaneous CT-guided catheter drainage of infected acute necrotizing pancreatitis: techniques and results.

American Journal of Roentgenology · 1998 · Vol. 170(4) · pp. 969–975

Abstract

Percutaneous catheter drainage is a safe and effective technique for treating infected acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Overall, sepsis was controlled in 74% of patients, permitting elective surgery for treatment of pancreatic fistula, and 47% of patients were cured with no surgery required. No catheter-related complications occurred.
