Infected pancreatic necrosis after extraperitoneal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: report of a case.
We report a case of acute necrotizing pancreatitis after extraperitoneal repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an uncommon complication of vascular surgery; however, managing its local and general consequences, including the eventual pancreatic abscess and the risk of prosthetic infection, presents formidable challenges.
