      • CT GUIDED PIGTAL INSERTION

      Also Known As:

      CT Guided Pigtail Catheter Placement

      Abscess Drainage Pigtail Insertion

      Percutaneous Drainage Catheter CT

      This CT Guided Pigtail Insertion involves the precise placement of a specialized drainage catheter into a fluid collection or abscess. Under real-time CT visualization, the radiologist ensures the catheter is correctly positioned to allow for continuous drainage. This procedure is highly effective for managing internal infections or persistent fluid accumulations without the need for major surgery. The guided technique provides a safe and effective way to resolve complex medical issues through a small, minimally invasive entry point.

      Includes 4 Test Parameters

    • Technique

      Placement of a "pigtail" drain catheter into an internal collection under CT guidance.

    • Purpose

      Continuous drainage of an internal abscess, cyst, or large fluid collection.

    • Area Covered

      Localized fluid collections in the abdomen, chest, or pelvis.

    • Key Clinical Point

      A minimally invasive alternative to surgical incision and drainage for resolving deep infections.

      • Includes Test 5 Parameters

      It is a thin, flexible tube with a curled end (like a pigtail) that keeps it from slipping out once placed in a fluid collection.

      It allows for continuous drainage of pus or infected fluid over several days without needing repeated needle sticks.

      The catheter is usually taped to the skin and connected to a drainage bag.

      There might be minor discomfort or a "tugging" sensation, but most patients tolerate it well with pain medication.

      The tube is removed once the CT scan or ultrasound shows that the fluid collection has completely drained.
