[Various characteristics of chronic ischemic pancreatitis]
Abstract
The authors examined 40 patients with chronic ischemic pancreatitis without concomitant pathology of the alimentary organs in order to define the features of the disease clinical picture and progress. It was found that patients with disseminated atherosclerosis, especially when it is coupled with essential hypertension, and with extravasal stenosis of the celiac trunk are predisposed to the development of chronic ischemic pancreatitis. Factors promoting pancreatic ischemia include abnormalities of the blood rheological properties seen in vascular pathology and alimentary hyperlipidemia.
