Background: When the mesenterico-portal vein is stenosed due to tumor related compression, venous collaterals develop and flow occurs antegrade towards the portal vein through the collateral tributaries. Undertaking pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer in this setting may result in significant blood loss during the process of ligation of these tributaries.
Description Of Technique: We describe the technique of endovascular stenting of the mesenterico-portal vein to reduce flow within these collateral tributaries and hence blood loss, to facilitate extended pancreatoduodenectomy and vein resection.
Conclusion: Percutaneous transhepatic placement of endovascular stent into a stenotic mesentero-portal vein facilitates pancreatoduodenectomy by reducing operative time, which would otherwise be required in dealing with the extensive venous collaterals and hence also reducing blood loss.

Background: Sinistral portal hypertension (SPH) may occurs in patients with pancreatic carcinoma after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with spleno-mesenterico-portal (S-M-P) cofluence resection. This study aimed to evaluate outcomes with the bifurcated allogeneic vein replacement in the prevention of SPH in pancreatic carcinoma patients.

Background/aim: The impact of venous resections and reconstruction techniques on morbidity after surgery for pancreatic cancer (PDAC) remains controversial.
Patients And Methods: A total of 143 patients receiving pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for PDAC between 2013 and 2018 were identified from a prospective database. Morbidity and mortality after PD with tangential resection versus end-to-end reconstruction were assessed.

Background: Concomitant venous resection during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma with mesenterico-portal vein involvement is increasingly performed to achieve oncological resection. This study aims to report a single centre experience in peritoneal patch (PP) as autologous graft for vascular reconstruction (VR) during PD.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent PD + VR with PP between December 2019 and September 2020 was performed, using a prospective collected database.

Background: Left-sided portal hypertension is usually found in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with spleno-mesenterico-portal (S-M-P) confluence resection. This study is to explore the outcomes of S-M-P confluence reconstruction after resection by using bifurcated allogeneic vein.
Methods: Clinicopathologic data of patients who underwent extensive PD with S-M-P confluence resection for carcinoma of pancreatic head/uncinate process in our hospital between December 2011 and August 2018 were retrospectively reviewed and clinical outcomes of vein reconstruction after resection were analyzed.

Complete surgical resection, most often associated with perioperative chemotherapy, is the only way to offer a chance of cure for patients with pancreatic cancer. One of the most important factors in determining survival outcome that can be influenced by the surgeon is the R0 resection. However, the proximity of mesenteric vessels in cephalic pancreatic tumors, especially the mesenterico-portal venous axis, results in an increased risk of vein involvement and/or the presence of malignant cells in the venous bed margin.
