Abstract
- Endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts is the initial treatment of choice for symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts and nonresolving pseudocysts. Recently, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been used as a guide for transmural entry and the safer drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts. We report a case of therapeutic linear array EUS-guided pseudocyst drainage without the use of fluoroscopy in a patient with portal hypertension.
