Mechanical circulatory support devices are used to offer short-term support for patients with cardiogenic shock. However, these devices are not without complications, and the risk and management of each must be closely considered. We discuss an infrequent complication of the percutaneous right heart pump and review complications reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
RESUMEN
Walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) is one of the late complications of acute pancreatitis. We present a 37-year-old man who developed a large WOPN 6 weeks after treatment of severe complicated pancreatitis. Imaging studies revealed a necrotic retroperitoneal fluid collection measuring 27 × 12 × 27 cm with large crossing blood vessels. Cystogastrostomy was performed using a lumen-apposing metal stent. He underwent multiple necrosectomies with significant improvement in the cyst size. Bleeding is a major complication of direct endoscopic necrosectomy; hence, specific imaging and a careful approach should be taken into consideration, especially in WOPN with a high risk of bleeding.
