This review is devoted to internationally accepted diagnostic algorithms for complicated chronic pancreatitis (CP). In addition, the authors discuss interventional radiological and endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, as well as their role in surgical approaches for this disease. Chronic pancreatitis is often diagnosed with severe symptoms following severe course of disease and complications.

- Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage is a crucial treatment for biliary obstruction, especially when endoscopic methods fail, as demonstrated in an 82-year-old man with cholangiocarcinoma.
- After initial success with the drainage procedure, complications arose due to accidental dislodgement of the drain, resulting in biliary peritonitis and worsening health.
- The extractive procedure to remove the fractured drain highlighted the significance of interventional radiology in addressing complications, and a new technique was developed to ensure better fixation and prevent future dislodgements.
Article Synopsis
- Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is a major cause of neurodevelopmental disabilities in infants, highlighting the need for better prevention strategies.
- Researchers studied human CMV infection in decidual tissues from women with and without immunity, finding that those with preconception immunity show resistance to the virus and stimulate specific immune cells upon reinfection.
- The study suggests that enhancing the immune response in decidual tissues could help develop a vaccine for cCMV and improve understanding of immune defenses at the maternal-fetal interface.
Objective: To analyze the results of endovascular embolization of malignant tumors and liver metastases.
Material And Methods: We analyzed international studies on the treatment of patients with neoplastic liver lesions and complications after regional endovascular embolization following leakage of chemotherapeutic drugs from the target vessel and negative systemic effects. The results of embolization of liver arteries without chemotherapeutic drugs were also analyzed.
The pancreaticobiliary system is a complex and vulnerable anatomic region. Small changes can lead to severe complications. Pancreaticobiliary disorders leading to severe complications include malignancies, pancreatitis, duodenal ulcer, duodenal diverticula, vascular malformations, and iatrogenic or traumatic injuries.
