Analysis of venoplasty in pediatric Budd-Chiari syndrome: An 8-year experience

Abstract

significant long-term complications in either group. All patients were eventually managed with interval appendectomy. Conclusions: Percutaneous drainage of periappendiceal abscess is safe and effective in the pediatric population. Management with antibiotics alone can be successful in a majority of patients, but is insufficient in a small group of patients (16% failure rate in our group). Both anterior and transgluteal approaches are safe and effective. Transgluteal approach provides accessibility to collections within the deep pelvis not amenable to anterior approach.
