  • Title: Modified ultrasound-guided percutaneous transgastric drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts.
    Author: Das KM, Kochhar R, Mehta SK, Suri S, Kaushik SP, Gupta NM, Kochhar S.
    Journal: Surg Endosc; 1990; 4(4):209-11. PubMed ID: 2291161.
    Abstract:
    We describe a modified ultrasound-guided transgastric drainage technique for pancreatic pseudocysts. Using a water-filled stomach to improve visualization, we have successfully drained pseudocysts in ten patients. This report also describes the use of a stiffening cannula to assist transgastric catheter placement. We emphasize the value of constant real-time tracking of the dilator and guidewire to ensure correct positioning of the drainage catheter.
