Unlabelled: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is still one of the most frequent cause of hospitalization. Grading severity of AP due to revised Atlanta classification differentiate: mild, moderately severe and severe AP. Mortality ranges from occasional tomild,8% in moderate, 36%-59% in severe AP.
A Case Report: 59-year-old man was hospitalized due to severe acute pancreatitis. Biliary duct obstruction was determined as a reason of AP and intensive treatment was started. The CT scan showed infected post-inflammatory pancreatic cyst. For this reason, endoscopic drainage of the pancreatic cyst to the stomach was performed first and then Jurasz operation. Severe postoperative course required treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). During the next hospitalization due to the patient's condition deterioration, endoscopic cyst drainage was performed again. Because of ineffectiveness of the performed treatment, the patient was reoperated. Post-operative multi-organ failure, lack of response to the intensive therapy and cachexia because of long-lasting illness, lead into patient's death.
Conclusions: This case demonstrates problem with severe complications of AP which despite of multidisciplinary treatment combining endoscopy, surgery and pharmacology can finally lead to death.

Background And Aims: Enzyme insufficiency (EPI) is common in chronic pancreatitis (CP), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and after pancreatic resection. 40%-50% of CP patients and 70%-80% of PDAC patients develop EPI. 1/3rd of these patients are prescribed Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), often at an inadequate dose, with evidence that this leads to increased morbidity and mortality.

Objectives: Previous research has conducted meta-analyses on the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB). However, studies on adverse events (AEs) have been limited and sporadic and have included a highly diverse group of patients (with upper and lower gastrointestinal tract issues) and needles of varying sizes (19-22-25G). The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the incidence of AEs related to the utilization of 20-22G second-generation EUS-FNB needles subsequent to puncture of the upper gastrointestinal tract and adjacent organs.
