Chest drainage has been practiced for numerous centuries. The earliest open drainage of complex pleural effusions dates back to the 5th century BC from Hippocrates. 1 Over the course of centuries, the ability to perform the procedure and drain fluid has become more sophisticated. Drainage has evolved to the modern-day practice of using chest tubes from the metal cannulas and trocars used in the 15th century by Celsius. The practice of water seal drainage was first described in the 19th century by Playfair and is the basis for drainage of most effusions today. 1 Chest drainage is performed by multiple specialties including emergency medicine physicians, internal medicine, pulmonologists, critical care physicians, surgeons, and interventional radiologists.The treatment of pleural effusions by interventional radiology ranges from simple drainage with thoracentesis to the placement of one or multiple indwelling chest tubes, or even a tunneled chest tube depending on the underlying etiology of the pleural effusion.
Life-threatening arterial complications after pancreatic transplantation can be dire. Pseudoaneurysms can be challenging to treat. There are multiple strategies to treat such complications. We present a case of pancreatic pseudoaneurysm which was initially treated by coiling followed by subsequent covered stent placement for a more durable outcome. We advocate for a “stent first” approach to these lesions if feasible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
