Pancreatic pseudocysts drained through a percutaneous transgastric approach.
We describe a new method for the percutaneous drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts using a transgastric approach. We used this technique in three dogs and six patients for whom no other "safe" access route was available. The procedures were performed under US guidance alone or with US combined with fluoroscopy. No complications were observed.
