Figure 1 Illustration of transgastric drainage of necrosis with nasocystic irrigation. Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2012 10, 1202-1207DOI: (10.1016/j.cgh.2012.07.009) Copyright © 2012 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions
Figure 2 (A) Coronal CT image obtained after transgastric necrosectomy of sterile necrosis; transgastric stent is present within superior portion of cavity (arrow). Left paracolic extension is seen (arrows). The 2 components of the collection communicate. (B) Percutaneous drainage is required to treat the contaminated paracolic gutter collection (arrows from midline to patient's left represent feeding tube, transgastric stent, and gutter collection with contrast, respectively).
