In order to minimize that risk the performing endoscopist needs to give a dose of intravenous antibiotics to the patient before the procedure usually ciprofloxacin and to try to drain as much as possible fluid out from the cyst if not all of it. The video that follows shows a 2,5 cm cyst sitting right above the portal confluence at the neck of the pancreas that was completely drained during the FNA. The cytology was consistent with pancreatic pseudocyst a result of acute pancreatitis.
