Abstract:
Acute necrotizing pancreatitis is a rare complication of various types of surgery, with a few cases reported after aortic operations. Following renovascular surgery, severe acute pancreatitis developed in three (0.9%) of 332 patients, and was fatal in one case. Various etiologic possibilities are discussed.
