• Abstract:

  This report describes a case of moderately severe acute biliary pancreatitis (Balthazar E) in a 50-year-old male patient with peripancreatic collections and partial pancreatic necrosis. A minimally invasive approach was chosen, according to the step-up approach, requiring surgical drainage. The patient showed progressive clinical and laboratory improvement, without the need for re-treatment or other interventions. The case reinforces the effectiveness of image-guided minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of complications of acute necrotizing pancreatitis.
