| description | The formation of aortic thrombi is an extremely rare complication of acute pancreatitis. Here we report a
case of acute pancreatitis complicated by a paraesophageal pseudocyst, necrotizing mediastinitis, and the formation
of multiple thrombi in the ascending aorta. The patient was successfully treated by surgical therapy,
which included extensive debridement of the mediastinum and removal of the aortic thrombi under cardiopulmonary
bypass. Although esophageal resection was not carried out concomitantly, the lesions were resolved
and the patient remained free of complications over 2 years of follow-up care. |
