Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of acute necrotizing pancreatitis(ANP) by the continuous intra-arterial infusion of stilamin,danshen and antibiotics using micro-pump. Methods 12 patients with ANP were treated with arterial infusion immediately after the patients were diagnosed by CT or MRI.The catheter was placed in the celiac artery.The drugs were used continuously for 3 to 9 days using micro-pumps.Results All of the 12 patients were recovery after 17 to 35 days treatment.No severe complications were observed.Conclusion The treatment of ANP by arterial infusion of stilamin,danshen and antibiotics offers good therapeutic effect with few severe complications and low mortality rate,it can shorten the duration of treatment and is proved to be an ideal method.
