More than 200000 hospital admissions happen per year for acute pancreatitis and more
than 50000 for chronic pancreatitis in the United States of America. Necrotizing pancreatitis
accounts for 20%-30% of the cases. One-quarter of the patients with pancreatitis develop
vascular complications, which carries a high mortality. This mini-review will address these
complications that can help primary care physicians and hospitalists in managing their
patients effectively.
Abstract
More than 200000 hospital admissions happen per year for acute pancreatitis and more than 50000 for chronic pancreatitis in the United States of America. Necrotizing pancreatitis accounts for 20%-30% of the cases. One-quarter of the patients with pancreatitis develop vascular complications, which carries a high mortality. This mini-review will address these complications that can help primary care physicians and hospitalists in managing their patients effectively.
