[Therapeutic strategy of transgastral stenting in retrogastral abscesses].
We report on two patients with postinterventional retrogastric abscesses, one as a postoperative complication after partial pancreatectomy, one as a complication of biliary pancreatitis. In both cases, the abscess cavity could be completely drained by EUS-guided endoscopic application of a short "Amsterdam" stent, length 4 cm, 11.5 Fr. The stents could be removed by endoscopy after an interval of several weeks. In suitable cases EUS-guided endoscopic transgastral stenting appears to be the therapy of choice for retrogastral abscesses.
