Outcomes of Visceral Arterial Interposition Graft Reconstruction for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine perioperative outcomes and the patency of interposition conduits for visceral arterial reconstruction in this setting.

Summary Background Data: Visceral arterial encasement in locally advanced pancreatic cancer was historically a contraindication for surgery. With modern effective neoadjuvant strategies, our recent experience has made advanced vascular resection and reconstruction feasible in selected patients.

Endovascular management of congenital atresia of the infrarenal IVC.

This case illustrates the feasibility of endovascular treatment for chronic venous insufficiency attributable to congenital atresia of the infrarenal inferior vena cava (IVC). Three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) venography can elucidate alternate sites of drainage and identify other venous pathology, such as dominant stenoses that may be amenable to venoplasty and/or stent placement.
