Abstract
Subclavian artery (SA) angiography has many well-documented complications. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a rarely described complication with potentially life-threatening repercussions. This article reports the case of a man with AP that occurred the second day after SA angiography. Contrast agent toxicity and cholesterol emboli are the two mechanisms involved in the occurrence of AP after SA angiography. We searched previous literature using PubMed databases during the same period as comparison.
