X-RAY-ENDOVASCULAR EMBOLIZATION OF PARAPANCREATIC VESSELS IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC PANCREATITIS COMPLICATIONS
Goal. To improve the results of surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis complicated by vascular pathology of the parapancreatic zone. Materials and methods. On the basis of the "Grodno University Clinic" in the department of X-ray Endovascular Surgery of the period 2010 to April 2020, were performed 16 embolizations of the arteries of the parapancreatic zone due to complications of chronic pancreatitis. Among the patients there were 13 (81.25%) men and 3 (18.75%) women. They had a history of chronic pancreatitis, which was confirmed using instrumental and laboratory research methods. One of the patients (6.25%) had a stationary aneurysm.15 (93.75%) patients had a bleeding clinic, which required urgent surgical interventions. Results. Angioembolization of the parapancreatic arteries was effective in 15 (93.75%) patients, which was confirmed by the results of control angiograms. Conclusions. The use of intraluminal embolization for vascular pathology of the parapancreatic zone in treatment of chronic pancreatitis complications is a minimally invasive and effective method.
