title: [Laparoscopy combined with endoscopic and digital subtraction angiography for treatment of severe acute pancreatitis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the effect of laparoscopy combined with endoscopic and digital subtraction angiography in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).
  
  
  METHODS
  Nine-seven SAP patients were randomly divided into group A (n=32) with conventional treatment and group B (n=35) with combined treatment with laparoscopy, endoscopic and digital subtraction angiography in addition to the conventional treatment. The clinical indices and therapeutic effects in the 2 groups were compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After treatment, the patients in group B had significantly lower APACHE score than those in group A (P<0.05), with also better hepatic, renal and lung functions (P<0.05). The serum TNF-alpha and IL-1beta levels was significantly lower, but IL-10 significantly higher in group B (P<0.05). The CT SPN was significantly lowered in group B as compared with that in group A (P<0.05). The patients in group B had significantly lower rate of organ failure (P<0.01) and higher successful rate in organ failure management (P<0.05), with also lowered inhospital mortality than those in group A (P<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Laparoscopy combined with endoscopic pancreaticobiliary duct drainage and digital subtraction angiography in addition to conventional treatment significantly improves the outcome and decreases the mortality of SAP patients.
