  • Title: Percutaneous transgastric snaring for repositioning of a dislocated internal drain from a pancreatic pseudocyst.
    Author: Mahnken AH, Günther RW, Winograd R.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2008 Jul; 31 Suppl 2():S217-20. PubMed ID: 17763902.
    Abstract:
    Pancreatic pseudocysts may occur in up to 10% of patients with acute or chronic pancreatitis. Symptomatic, persistent, and infected pancreatic pseudocysts require interventional therapy. We present the case of a patient with complete dislocation of a double pigtail catheter into an infected pseudocyst and the repositioning of the drainage catheter using a transgastric snaring technique. The combination of CT-guided percutaneous puncture and fluoroscopic snaring permitted minimally invasive management of this rare complication.
