Abstract
The role of an interventional radiologist in the care of the patent with pancreatitis is twofold - as a diagnostician and as an interventionalist. The diagnostic part includes the role in the diagnosis of pancreatitis, the possible etiology, and associated complications if any. From the therapeutic point of view it includes the management of the various vascular and non-vascular complications of pancreatitis. With increase in the percutaneous management of pancreatitis associated collections, it is prudent to be well versed with the complications that may be encountered. This article focusses on the various complications secondary to percutaneous management of collections in pancreatitis and the management options that are available at the interventional radiologist's disposal. The complications are discussed under different sections including access-related, catheter-related and other non-vascular complications.

Involvement of transverse mesocolon is associated with development of colonic fistula in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Pancreatology 2023; 23:314-320. [PMID: 36878824 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2023.02.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Involvement of transverse mesocolon (TM) during acute necrotizing pancreatitis(ANP) indicates that inflammation has spread from retroperitoneal space to peritoneum. Nevertheless, the impact of TM involvement, as confirmed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), on local complications and clinical outcomes was poorly investigated. PURPOSE This study aimed to explore the association between CECT-diagnosed TM involvement and the development of colonic fistula in a cohort of ANP patients. METHODS This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study involving ANP patients admitted from January 2020 to December 2020. TM involvement was diagnosed by two experienced radiologists. The study subjects were enrolled consecutively and divided into two groups: TM involvement and non-TM involvement. The primary outcome was colonic fistula during the index admission. Clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups, and the association between the TM involvement and the development of colonic fistula was assessed using multivariable analysis to adjust for baseline unbalances. RESULTS A total of 180 patients with ANP were enrolled, and 86 (47.8%) patients had TM involvement. The incidence of the colonic fistula is significantly higher in patients with TM involvement (16.3% vs. 5.3%;p = 0.017). Moreover, the length of hospital stay was 24(13,68) days in patients with TM involvement and 15(7,31) days in those not (p = 0.001). Analysis of multivariable logistic regression revealed that TM involvement is an independent risk factor for the development of colonic fistula (odds ratio: 10.253, 95% CI: 2.206-47.650, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION TM involvement in ANP patients is associated with development of colonic fistula in ANP patients.

A Case Series of Late Gastrointestinal Fistulization in 16 Patients with Walled-Off Necrosis. Dig Dis Sci 2022; 67:661-666. [PMID: 33651255 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-021-06900-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal fistulization (GIF) is a rare and potentially fatal complication of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). There is paucity of data on clinical course and outcome of GIF in walled of necrosis (WON). OBJECTIVE To evaluate frequency, clinical as well as imaging findings and outcome of spontaneous symptomatic GIF in patients with WON. METHODS Retrospective analysis of database of patients with asymptomatic WON on regular follow-up over last six years to identify patients with symptomatic GIF. RESULTS Out of 138 patients with asymptomatic WON seen during the study period, 16 (11.5%) patients (all males; mean age 41.7 ± 9.9 years) developed symptomatic GIF. The mean size of WON in patients who developed GIF was 9.5 ± 2.4 cm, and fistulization occurred after 65.1 ± 17.8 days of the onset of ANP. The site of fistulization was stomach, duodenum, jejunum, colon, and esophagus in seven (43.7%), five (31.2%), one (6.2%), two (12.5%), and one (6.2%) patients, respectively. GIF resulted in spontaneous resolution in two patients (stomach 1 and esophagus 1). The remaining patients with gastric (six patients) and duodenal (five patients) fistulization were successfully treated endoscopically by placing multiple plastic stents in the necrotic cavity after balloon dilatation of the fistulous tract. Patients with colonic fistulization required surgery. None of the patients succumbed to the illness. CONCLUSION Symptomatic GIF of WON usually occurs within the first three months of onset of ANP. It commonly occurs in either stomach or duodenum and can be successfully managed endoscopically.

Percutaneous catheter drainage of pancreatic associated pathologies: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Radiol 2021; 144:109978. [PMID: 34607289 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2021.109978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2021] [Revised: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 09/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The main goal of this systematic review was to assess the technical and clinical success, adverse events (AEs), surgery, and overall mortality proportion after percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) of two pancreatic lesions. METHODS An extant search in online databases including Scopus, PubMed (Medline), Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar, was conducted to recognize all studies that used PCD intervention in the management of pancreatic necrosis (PN) and pancreatic pseudocysts (PP). Random effects meta-analysis was performed, and Cochrane's Q test and I2statistic were utilized to determine heterogeneity. In addition, meta-regression was used to explore the influence of categorical variables on heterogeneity. RESULTS Thirty-two studies (1398 patients) including PN in 26 (1256 cases, 89.8%) studies and PP in 6 (142 cases, 10.2%) studies were identified. Technical success proportion was 100% (95% confidence interval [CI] 100%-100%, I2: 0.0%), clinical success 63% (95% CI 55%-71%, I2: 92.9%), AEs 26% (95% CI 21%-31%, I2: 78%), surgery after PCD intervention 33% (95% CI 25%-40%, I2: 92.4%), and overall mortality was 13% (95% CI 9%-17%, I2: 82.8%). The most common ADs after PCD intervention were development of fistula (106, 42.6%), hemorrhage (44, 17.7%), sepsis (40, 16.1%). CONCLUSION A significant clinical success proportion with low AEs, surgery, and overall mortality proportion after PCD intervention was found, although the results should be interpreted with caution due to the high heterogeneity.

Spontaneous Internal Pancreatic Fistulae Complicating Acute Pancreatitis. Am J Gastroenterol 2021; 116:1381-1386. [PMID: 34183576 DOI: 10.14309/ajg.0000000000001282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Spontaneous pancreatic fistula (PF) is a rare but challenging complication of acute pancreatitis (AP). The fistulae could be internal (draining into another viscera or cavity, e.g., pancreaticocolonic, gastric, duodenal, jejunal, ileal, pleural, or bronchial) or external (draining to skin, i.e., pancreaticocutaneous). Internal fistulae constitute the majority of PF and will be discussed in this review. Male sex, alcohol abuse, severe AP, and infected necrosis are the major risk factors for development of internal PF. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose PF. Broad availability of computed tomography makes it the initial test of choice. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography have higher sensitivity compared with computed tomography scan and also allow for assessment of pancreatic duct for leak or disconnection, which affects treatment approaches. Certain complications of PF including hemorrhage and sepsis could be life-threatening and require urgent intervention. In nonurgent/chronic cases, management of internal PF involves control of sepsis, which requires effective drainage of any residual pancreatic collection/necrosis, sometimes by enlarging the fistula. Decreasing fistula output with somatostatin analogs (in pancreaticopleural fistula) and decreasing intraductal pressure with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or endoscopic ultrasound/interventional radiology-guided interventions or surgery are commonly used strategies for management of PF. More than 60% of the internal PF close with medical and nonsurgical interventions. Colonic fistula, medical refractory-PF, or PF associated with disconnected pancreatic duct can require surgical intervention including bowel resection or distal pancreatectomy. In conclusion, AP-induced spontaneous internal PF is a complex complication requiring multidisciplinary care for successful management.

Streptokinase irrigation through a percutaneous catheter helps decrease the need for necrosectomy and reduces mortality in necrotizing pancreatitis as part of a step-up approach. Surgery 2021; 170:1532-1537. [PMID: 34127302 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2021.05.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2021] [Revised: 05/13/2021] [Accepted: 05/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous catheter drainage in pancreatic necrosis with a predominant solid component has a reduced success rate. To improve the efficacy of percutaneous catheter drainage, we used streptokinase in the irrigation fluid in the present study. METHODS In this retrospective analysis of 4 prospective randomized studies performed at our center from 2014 to 2019, 108 patients were evaluated. We assessed the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of streptokinase irrigation compared to saline irrigation. Data were also analyzed between 50,000 IU and 150,000 IU streptokinase. RESULTS There were 53 patients in the streptokinase irrigation group and 55 in the saline irrigation group, and both groups were comparable in terms of age, sex, etiology, APACHE II score, and percutaneous catheter drainage characteristics. The modified computerised tomography severity index and modified Marshall score at the onset of pain were significantly higher in the streptokinase group. Sepsis reversal was significantly higher in the streptokinase group (75% vs 36%), and the need for necrosectomy (34% vs 54%) was also lower in the streptokinase group. Mortality was lower in the streptokinase group than in the saline group (32% vs 40%). The incidence of bleeding in the streptokinase group was lower than that in the saline group (7% vs 18%). A higher dose of streptokinase (150,000 IU) resulted in lower rates of necrosectomy, bleeding, and mortality compared to those with 50,000 IU streptokinase. CONCLUSION Significant reductions in the need for surgery and sepsis reversal were noted in the streptokinase group. The results using 150,000 IU streptokinase were superior to those using 50,000 IU streptokinase.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease that can progress to severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), which increases the risk of death. AP is characterized by inappropriate activation of trypsinogen, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and destruction of secretory cells. Other contributing factors may include calcium (Ca2+) overload, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired autophagy, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In addition, exosomes are also associated with pathophysiological processes of many human diseases and may play a biological role in AP. However, the pathogenic mechanism has not been fully elucidated and needs to be further explored to inform treatment. Recently, the treatment guidelines have changed; minimally invasive therapy is advocated more as the core multidisciplinary participation and "step-up" approach. The surgical procedures have gradually changed from open surgery to minimally invasive surgery that primarily includes percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD), endoscopy, small incision surgery, and video-assisted surgery. The current guidelines for the management of AP have been updated and revised in many aspects. The type of fluid to be used, the timing, volume, and speed of administration for fluid resuscitation has been controversial. In addition, the timing and role of nutritional support and prophylactic antibiotic therapy, as well as the timing of the surgical or endoscopic intervention, and the management of complications still have many uncertainties that could negatively impact the prognosis and patients' quality of life. Consequently, to inform clinicians about optimal treatment, we aimed to review recent advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of AP and its diagnosis and management.

Abstract
Background and Objective Pancreatic fluid collections in early phase of illness <4 weeks after onset of acute pancreatitis (AP) are usually treated with percutaneous drainage (PCD). There is a paucity of data comparing early (<4 weeks) endoscopic transluminal drainage (ETD) with PCD in patients with symptomatic pancreatic necrosis (PN). The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of early ETD with PCD in patients with symptomatic PN. Patients and Methods Retrospective analysis of database of patients with symptomatic PN treated early (<4 weeks of onset of AP) with either ETD (encapsulated wall on EUS) or PCD. Results Twenty-three patients (19 M; mean age: 36.1 years) were treated with ETD and 41 patients (29 M; mean age: 39.6 years) were treated with PCD, respectively. ETD and PCD were done 24.2 ± 2.3 and 24.2 ± 2.0 days after onset of AP, respectively (P = 0.84). In the ETD group, 35% of patients were treated with self-expanding metallic stents and 48% of patients required direct endoscopic necrosectomy. In the PCD group, 74% of patients were treated with multiple catheters and 91% of patients with either saline or streptokinase irrigation. As compared to the ETD group, patients in the PCD group took longer time for resolution (61.9 ± 22.9 days vs. 30.9 ± 5.6 days; P < 0.00001), increased need for surgery (30% vs. 4%; P = 0.01), and frequency of formation of external pancreatic fistula (EPF) (22% vs. nil; P = 0.02). Conclusions ETD of PN in early phase of illness is associated with a shorter duration for resolution and infrequent need of salvage surgery compared to PCD. EPF formation is a significant adverse event with PCD.
