Angiography and interventional radiology: percutaneous approaches to benign pancreatic disorders.
Interventional radiology contributes several avenues for the diagnosis and treatment of benign pancreatic disorders. Biopsy can provide supporting evidence for benign or equivocal lesions. Aspiration of collections suspected of infection can yield specific bacteriologic diagnosis. Bleeding complications of pancreatitis can be treated directly by transcatheter embolization.
