title: Successful closure and embolization of a fistula between the pancreatic duct and a pseudocyst using ethibloc.
abstract: We successfully achieved complete regression of a pancreatic pseudocyst after Ethibloc embolization of a fistula between the cyst and the pancreatic duct. Previous treatment by percutaneous drainage over 6 weeks had failed. Treatment with a somatostatin analog had not been undertaken.
