World J Radiol 2022 Apr;14(4):91-103

Department of Radiology, Mansoura University, Mansoura 35516, Egypt.

Background: The resulting tissue hypoxia and increased inflammation secondary to severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) combined with viral load, and other baseline risk factors contribute to an increased risk of severe sepsis or co-existed septic condition exaggeration.

Aim: To describe the clinical, radiological, and laboratory characteristics of a small cohort of patients infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 who underwent percutaneous drainage for septic complications and their post-procedural outcomes.

Methods: This retrospective study consisted of 11 patients who were confirmed to have COVID-19 by RT-PCR test and required drain placement for septic complications. The mean age ± SD of the patients was 48.5 ± 14 years (range 30-72 years). Three patients underwent cholecystostomy for acute acalculous cholecystitis. Percutaneous drainage was performed in seven patients; two peripancreatic collections; two infected leaks after hepatic resection; one recurrent hepatic abscess, one psoas abscess and one lumbar abscess. One patient underwent a percutaneous nephrostomy for acute pyelonephritis.

Results: Technical success was achieved in 100% of patients, while clinical success was achieved in 4 out of 11 patients (36.3%). Six patients (54.5%) died despite proper percutaneous drainage and adequate antibiotic coverage. One patient (9%) needed operative intervention. Two patients (18.2%) had two drainage procedures to drain multiple fluid collections. Two patients (18.2%) had repeat drainage procedures due to recurrent fluid collections. The average volume of the drained fluid immediately after tube insertion was 85 mL. Follow-up scans show a reduction of the retained content and associated inflammatory changes after tube insertion in all patients. There was no significant statistical difference ( = 0.6 and 0.4) between the mean of WBCs and neutrophils count before drainage and seven days after drainage. The lymphocyte count shows significant increased seven days after drainage ( = 0.03).

Conclusion: In this study, patients having septic complications associated with COVID-19 showed relatively poor clinical outcomes despite technically successful percutaneous drainage.

Spontaneous gallbladder perforation and colon fistula in hypertriglyceridemia-related severe acute pancreatitis: A case report.

Authors:
Qi-Pu Wang Yi-Jun Chen Mei-Xing Sun Jia-Yuan Dai Jian Cao Qiang Xu Guan-Nan Zhang Sheng-Yu Zhang

World J Clin Cases 2022 Jun;10(17):5846-5853

Department of Gastroenterology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing 100730, China.

Background: Gallbladder perforation and gastrointestinal fistula are rare but serious complications of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). However, neither spontaneous gallbladder perforation nor cholecysto-colonic fistula has been reported in acalculous acute pancreatitis patients.

Case Summary: A 31-year-old male presenting with epigastric pain was diagnosed with hypertriglyceridemia-related SAP. Read More

Endosc Int Open 2022 Aug 15;10(8):E1073-E1079. Epub 2022 Aug 15.

Department of Surgery, Prince of Wales Hospital, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong, China.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is the preferred treatment for patients with acute calculous cholecystitis who are unfit for surgery. The aim of this study was to perform a cost-effective analysis (CEA) comparing EUS-GBD with percutaneous gallbladder drainage (PT-GBD). CEA was performed on patients recruited for our prior randomized controlled trial. Read More

Diverticular Disease: Rapid Evidence Review.

Authors:

Am Fam Physician 2022 Aug;106(2):150-156

Family Medicine Residency of Idaho, Boise, ID.

Diverticulitis should be suspected in patients with isolated left lower quadrant pain, abdominal distention or rigidity, fever, and leukocytosis. Initial laboratory workup includes a complete blood count, basic metabolic panel, urinalysis, and C-reactive protein measurement. Computed tomography with intravenous contrast is the preferred imaging modality, if needed to confirm diagnosis and assess for complications of diverticulitis. Read More

Early percutaneous catheter drainage in protecting against prolonged fever among patients with pyogenic liver abscess: a retrospective cohort study.

Authors:
Yang Liu Zexi Li Anlei Liu Jun Xu Yi Li Jihai Liu Yecheng Liu Huadong Zhu

Ann Med 2022 Dec;54(1):2269-2277

Emergency Department, State Key Laboratory of Complex Severe and Rare Diseases, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.

Background: Percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) has been viewed as first-line treatment for pyogenic liver abscess (PLA), yet detailed guidance is lacking for best practice of PCD. This study investigated characteristics of patients with PLA who had received PCD, identified factors associated with prolonged fever, and aimed to evaluate the relationship between timing of PCD and clinical improvement.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with PLA who had undergone PCD over a 7-year period. Read More

Gastroenterologie, Deutsches Rotes Kreuz Krankenhaus Clementinenhaus Hannover, Hannover, Deutschland.

Biliary complications are frequent after hepatic surgery and may greatly influence postoperative morbidity and mortality. Most of these are leaks or strictures to the bile duct, most frequently leaks after cholecystectomy and liver resection. Strictures are an important problem after liver transplantation. Read More
