Minimally invasive endoscopic treatment of necrotizing pancreatitis: A case report with images and review of the literature

Abstract: Necrotizing pancreatitis with fluid collections can occur as a complication of acute pancreatitis. The management of these patients depends on the severity and involves multiple medical treatment modalities, as clinical intensive care and surgical intervention. In this article, we show a severe case of walled-off pancreatic necrosis that was conducted by endoscopic drainage with great clinical outcome.

“…Acute Pancreatitis (AP) is a very frequent and potentially lethal condition, with more than 200,000 hospital admissions per year in the United States and an incidence of 4 to 45 per 100,000 patients per year in Europe [1,2]. Acute pancreatitis may lead to organ failures lasting more than 48 hours in roughly 20% to 25% of these individuals [3,4]. Even with severe acute pancreatitis, around 10%-20% of patients develop necrosis in one or both of the pancreas' parenchyma or the peripancreatic tissues around it, leading to acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) [4,5].…”

“…Acute pancreatitis may lead to organ failures lasting more than 48 hours in roughly 20% to 25% of these individuals [3,4]. Even with severe acute pancreatitis, around 10%-20% of patients develop necrosis in one or both of the pancreas' parenchyma or the peripancreatic tissues around it, leading to acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) [4,5]. When this necrotic tissue becomes infected, as occurs in 40-70% of ANP patients, the death rate might rise to 35-40%, as shown by current research on the subject.…”
