Abstract

Vascular resection during surgery for adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is being performed with increasing frequency in order to achieve an R0 resection. With increasingly radical operations come challenges for reconstruction. Generally, these are related to reconstruction of the portal vein; this is particularly true of long-segment vein involvement by the tumor, in which venous outflow from dependent organs can become compromised. We report the first case of left gastric vein to inferior mesenteric vein bypass during a radical total pancreatectomy with long-segment portal vein resection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma, performed to relieve severe gastric venous congestion.
