Minimally invasive pancreatic necrosectomy; a technical pictorial review.

Necrotizing pancreatitis is the most severe form of acute pancreatitis, which is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Open necrosectomy has been one of the treatment modalities; however, it has been associated with high mortality rates and alternative minimally invasive procedures such as minimal invasive pancreatic necrosectomy (MIPN) were developed to improve on the outcomes. While current clinical evidence on MIPN showed significant advantages in terms of incidence of multiple organ failure, incisional hernias and new-onset diabetes there were no differences in terms of mortality rate.

Endovascular management of an arteriovenous fistula and concomitant pseudoaneurysm in an intravenous drug abuser.

An interesting case of an intravenous drug abuser who had endovascular management of an arteriovenous fistula and concomitant pseudoaneurysm, resulting from recurrent puncture of the femoral artery is reported in this study.

Peroneal artery pseudoaneurysm--a case report and literature review.

Background: Aneurysms of the peroneal artery are infrequent and consist mainly of pseudoaneurysms.

Case Presentation: This report describes an unusual case of peroneal pseudoaneurysm developing after thromoboembolectomy with a Fogarty catheter. It was managed successfully using an endovascular technique consisting of selective catheterization and coil embolization.
