| 1. | Plastic stents may be placed to facilitate drainage from the pseudocyst.

|
| 5. | Emergency surgery may need to be performed if there is a rupture of the pseudocyst.
|
| 6. | CT scans are more accurate, and provide more detail regarding the pseudocyst and its surroundings.
|
| 7. | Transgastric or transduodenal approaches are used when the pseudocyst is next to the gastro-duodenal wall.
|
| 8. | Inherent risks include missing the pseudocyst, injuring nearby vessels, and inefficient placement of the catheter.
