| Percutaneous transgastric drainage of a pancreatic pseudocyst |
 |
 |
 |
Vast
pancreatic pseudocyst with severe
abdominal complaints. The cyst protrudes into the gastric cavity.
(see also
gastric impressions).
A pigtail
catheter is advanced over a
canula into the pseudocyst via the per-cutanous,
transgastric route (upper left). Using a biopsy forceps the
pigtail
reaches itīs final position (upper right). As a result
pancreatic cyst fluid drains into the stomach (lower picture).

As an example a sonoscan of a pseudo cyst of the same size (different patient) is added.
