Duodenal stump fistula managed with percutaneous drainage, percutaneous transcholecystic biliary diversion and transduodenal glue embolization - A case report.

ABSTRACT

Duodenal stump insufficiency is an infrequent but potentially devastating complication of upper gastrointestinal surgery. In the era of image-guided interventions, duodenal stump insufficiency is usually treated rather conservatively or with percutaneous interventions than with surgery. Herein, we present a case of a postsurgical duodenal stump fistula successfully treated in a step-by-step manner with percutaneous drainage of a periduodenal abscess-fistula complex, percutaneous transcholecystic biliary drainage for partial biliary diversion and percutaneous transcatheter fistula embolization via the duodenum with n-butyl-cyanoacrylate.
