Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging to predict pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy.

چکیده
BACKGROUND/AIMS This study hopes to identify risk factors for postoperative pancreatic fistulae in patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy. METHODS The study group was composed of 39 patients who had undergone distal pancreatectomy between January 2000 and June 2008. Fourteen presumed risk factors were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Pancreatic fistula developed in 10 patients (25.6%). Pancreatic fibrosis estimated by dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was the only predictor of pancreatic fistula formation after distal pancreatectomy (p = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS The preoperative evaluation of pancreatic fibrosis by dynamic MRI can provide reliable and objective information for predicting the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy.

Introduction: Pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is widely applied in tumor diagnosis and treatment evaluation. Precision analysis of the estimated PK parameters is essential when they are used as a measure for therapy evaluation or treatment planning. In this study, the accuracy of PK parameters in brain DCE...

Background: Salivary gland tumors form nearly 3% of head and neck tumors. Due to their large histological variety and vicinity to facial nerves, pre-operative diagnosis and differentiation of benign and malignant parotid tumors are a major challenge for radiologists. Objective: The majority of these tumors are benign; however, sometimes they tend to transform into a malignant form. Functional M...

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS Few reports have validated the clinical postoperative pancreatic fistula (PF) after distal pancreatectomy. The study intended to validate the predictability for clinical PF of drain amylase and lipase and to find out more appropriate postoperative day (POD) for diagnostic criterion of PF.

متن کاملPancreaticopleural Fistula Causing Massive Right Hydrothorax and Respiratory Failure
Hydrothorax secondary to a pancreaticopleural fistula (PPF) is a rare complication of acute pancreatitis. In patients with a history of pancreatitis, diagnosis is made by detection of amylase in the pleural exudate. Imaging, particularly magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, aids in the detection of pancreatic ductal disruption. Management includes thoracocentesis and pancreatic duct dra...

Pancreatic fistula is a known complication of distal pancreatectomy. Endotherapy with pancreatic duct stent placement and pancreatic sphincterotomy has been shown to be effective in its management; however, experience of endotherapy in the management of this complication has not been extensively reported from the United States. Preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) ...
