For complicated ALA patients, some form of drainage procedure is always required.

Many vascular complications of ALA, including venous thrombosis and arterial pseudoaneurysm have shown to improve with PCD treatment.

Even though ALA is usually considered to be bacteriologically sterile, up to 20% of patients may develop a secondary bacterial infection, which could complicate the disease course.

Surgical intervention is taken into consideration only in cases when radiological intervention has failed or is difficult due to a challenging location or multiloculation.

Whenever possible, a laparoscopic drainage should be preferred over the open surgery.
