Sažetak
Pancreatic pseudocyst, the most common cystic lesion of the pancreas, may occur as a consequence of acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic trauma, or obstruction of the pancreatic duct. Symptomatic, complicated, or enlarging pseudocysts require therapy that can be endoscopic (transmural and transpapillary drainage), percutaneous, or surgical. We present a patient with pancreatic pseudocyst treated by blinded endoscopic transgastric puncture and stenting after an unsuccessful attempt at endoscopic transpapillary drainage, suggesting that this simple approach is safe and effective in a selected group of patients.
