Abstract
Bleeding is still one of the most feared intraoperative and postoperative complications that can lead to an increase in morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay and costs. Nowadays, in addition to accurate surgical techniques, several local haemostatic agents are available and can be used in case of oozing bleeding. Herein, we report our experience with a ready-to-use polysaccharide powder in two patients undergoing distal splenopancreatectomy. Bleeding control was achieved in both cases. No patient showed postoperative bleeding, and no other complications were reported.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomies are complex surgical procedures with considerable postoperative morbidity and mortality. Here, we describe complications and outcomes in patients requiring surgical revisions following pancreatoduodenectomy. METHODS A total of 1048 patients undergoing a pancreatoduodenectomy at our institution between 2002 and 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients with surgical revisions were included. Revisions were divided into early and late using a cut-off of 5 days after the first surgery. Statistical significance was examined by using chi-square tests and Fisher's exact tests. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests. RESULTS A total of 150 patients with at least 1 surgical revision after pancreatoduodenectomy were included. Notably, 64 patients had a revision during the first 5 days and were classified as early revision. Compared with the 86 patients with late revisions, we found no differences concerning wound infections, delayed gastric emptying, or acute kidney failure. After late revisions, we found significantly more cases of sepsis (31.4% late versus 15.6% early, p = 0.020) and reintubation due to respiratory failure (33.7% versus 18.8%, p = 0.031). Postoperative mortality was significantly higher within the late revision group (23.2% versus 9.4%, p = 0.030). CONCLUSION Arising complications after pancreatoduodenectomy should be addressed as early as possible as patients requiring late surgical revisions frequently developed septic complications and multiorgan failure.

Abstract
Importance Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage is an uncommon but highly morbid complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy. Clinical evidence often draws suspicion to the gastroduodenal artery stump, even without a clear source. Objective To determine the frequency of gastroduodenal artery bleeding compared to other sites and the results of mitigation strategies. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study involved a retrospective analysis of data for consecutive patients who had pancreaticoduodenectomy from 2011 to 2021 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (TJUH). Exposures Demographic, perioperative, and disease-related variables. Main Outcomes and Measures The incidence, location, treatment, and outcomes of primary (initial) and secondary (recurrent) hemorrhage requiring invasive intervention were analyzed. Imaging studies were re-reviewed by interventional radiologists to confirm sites. Results Inclusion criteria were met by 3040 patients (n = 1761 MSK, n = 1279 TJUH). Patients from both institutions were similar in age (median [IQR] age at MSK, 67 [59-74] years, and at TJUH, 68 [60-75] years) and sex (at MSK, 814 female [46.5%] and 947 male [53.8%], and at TJUH, 623 [48.7%] and 623 male [51.3%]). Primary hemorrhage occurred in 90 patients (3.0%), of which the gastroduodenal artery was the source in 15 (16.7%), unidentified sites in 24 (26.7%), and non-gastroduodenal artery sites in 51 (56.7%). Secondary hemorrhage occurred in 23 patients; in 4 (17.4%), the gastroduodenal artery was the source. Of all hemorrhage events (n = 117), the gastroduodenal artery was the source in 19 (16.2%, 0.63% incidence in all pancreaticoduodenectomies). Gastroduodenal artery hemorrhage was more often associated with soft gland texture (14 [93.3%] vs 41 [62.1%]; P = .02) and later presentation (median [IQR], 21 [15-26] vs 10 days [5-18]; P = .002). Twenty-three patients underwent empirical gastroduodenal artery embolization or stent placement, 7 (30.4%) of whom subsequently experienced secondary hemorrhage. Twenty percent of all gastroduodenal artery embolizations/stents (8/40 patients), including 13% (3/13 patients) of empirical treatments, were associated with significant morbidity (7 hepatic infarction, 4 biliary stricture), with a 90-day mortality rate of 38.5% (n = 5) for patients with these complications vs 7.8% without (n = 6; P = .008). Ninety-day mortality was 12.2% (n = 11) for patients with hemorrhage (3 patients [20%] with primary gastroduodenal vs 8 [10.7%] for all others; P = .38) compared with 2% (n = 59) for patients without hemorrhage. Conclusions and Relevance In this study, postpancreatectomy hemorrhage was uncommon and the spectrum was broad, with the gastroduodenal artery responsible for a minority of bleeding events. Empirical gastroduodenal artery embolization/stent without obvious sequelae of recent hemorrhage was associated with significant morbidity and rebleeding and should not be routine practice. Successful treatment of postpancreatectomy hemorrhage requires careful assessment of all potential sources, even after gastroduodenal artery mitigation.

Abstract
Most post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhages (PPH) are of arterial origin, and some studies have suggested that an interventional radiology approach is most effective in reducing mortality. Venous PPH is rare, and identifying its source can be challenging. We report a case of late venous PPH in the context of a pancreatic fistula following pancreaticoduodenectomy. During surgical exploration, the area of potential bleeding was inaccessible due to major inflammatory adhesions aggravated by the presence of pancreatic fistula and the delay of relaparotomy. No intra-abdominal bleeding was detected on imaging studies or during abdominal exploration; only a massive bleeding through the drain orifice, which required packing, was observed. Percutaneous transhepatic portography was performed to localize and treat the origin of the bleeding. The hemorrhage was successfully treated by endovascular approach. We found no reports in the literature on the use of interventional radiology with venous stenting to treat venous PPH, except in cases of gastrointestinal variceal hemorrhage due to portal occlusion.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative hemorrhage (PPH) is a severe complication of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with a mortality rate of 5-20.2% and mortality due to hemorrhage of 11-58%. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has been widely recommended for PPH, however, TAE with N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) for PPH treatment has been reported rarely. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TAE with NBCA for PPH treatment following PD. METHODS This retrospective study included 14 male patients (mean age, 60.93 ± 10.97 years) with postoperative hemorrhage following PD treated with TAE using NBCA as the main embolic agent from October 2019 to February 2022. The clinical data, technical and success rate, and complications were analyzed. RESULTS Among the 14 patients who underwent TAE, the technical and clinical success rates were 100 and 85.71%, respectively. Angiography revealed contrast extravasation in 12 cases and a pseudoaneurysm in 3 cases. One patient developed a serious infection and died 2 days after the TAE. CONCLUSION TAE with NBCA for PPH treatment following PD, especially for massive hemorrhage caused by a pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, or inflammatory corrosion, can result in rapid and effective hemostasis with high safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate whether pedicled ligament flaps (PLF) covering around the hepatic and gastroduodenal artery stump can provide better clinical outcomes in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search of databases (inception to January 2023) to identify studies comparing PD with or without PLF covering the skeletonized arteries. The perioperative and postoperative outcomes were compared. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed-effects models. RESULTS Ten studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Six studies with 3538 patients met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. Patients in the PLF group had a significantly lower rate of PPH from the hepatic artery or gastroduodenal artery stump (H/G PPH) (OR: 0.41; 95 % CI, 0.22-0.75; P < 0.01) and overall PPH (OR: 0.65; 95 % CI, 0.46-0.93; P = 0.02). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of morbidity, grade B/C postoperative pancreatic fistula (B/C POPF), delayed gastric emptying (DGE), reoperation, or mortality. CONCLUSION Prophylactic pedicled ligament flaps covering around the skeletonized arteries significantly reduced overall PPH and H/G PPH, and it seemed to have no obvious influence on other complications.

Abstract
Transcatheter arterial embolization is a useful treatment for postpancreatectomy hemorrhage, a severe complication of pancreatic surgery. N-butyl cyanoacrylate is a liquid and permanent embolic material that is widely used in transcatheter arterial embolization. However, its use can lead to the adherence of the catheter to the vessel wall and occlusion of the catheter lumen. This case report presents the case of a 63-year-old man with a postpancreatectomy posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm, which ruptured and bled into a drain tube. The patient underwent transcatheter arterial embolization using N-butyl cyanoacrylate and a gelatin sponge without the incidence of adherence or occlusion of the drain tube. Gelatin sponge, which was used as a temporary embolic material, was effective in preventing the drain tube from adhering and occluding.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the safety and clinical effectiveness of empiric embolization (EE) compared with targeted embolization (TE) in the treatment of delayed postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH). MATERIALS AND METHODS The data of patients with delayed PPH between January 2012 and August 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. In total, 312 consecutive patients (59.6 years ± 10.8; 239 men) were included. The group was stratified into 3 cohorts according to angiographic results and treatment strategies: TE group, EE group, and no embolization (NE) group. The χ2 or Fisher exact test was implemented for comparing the clinical success and 30-day mortality. The variables related to clinical failure and 30-day mortality were identified by univariable and multivariable analyses. RESULTS Clinical success of transcatheter arterial embolization was achieved in 70.0% (170/243) of patients who underwent embolization. There was no statistical difference in clinical success and 30-day mortality between the EE and TE groups. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that malignant disease (odds ratio [OR] = 5.76), Grade C pancreatic fistula (OR = 7.59), intra-abdominal infection (OR = 2.54), and concurrent extraluminal and intraluminal hemorrhage (OR = 2.52) were risk factors for clinical failure. Moreover, 33 patients (13.6%) died within 30 days after embolization. Advanced age (OR = 2.59) and intra-abdominal infection (OR = 5.55) were identified as risk factors for 30-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS EE is safe and as effective as TE in preventing rebleeding and mortality in patients with angiographically negative delayed PPH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) is a rare yet dreaded complication following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This retrospective study aimed to explore a machine learning (ML) model for predicting PPH in PD patients. METHODS A total of 284 patients who underwent open PD at our institute were included in the analysis. To address the issue of imbalanced data, the adaptive synthetic sampling (ADASYN) technique was employed. The best-performing ML model was selected using the PyCaret library in Python and evaluated based on recall, precision, and F1 score metrics. In addition to assessing the model's performance on the test data, bootstrap validation (n = 1000) with the original dataset was conducted. RESULTS PPH occurred in 11 patients (3.9%), with a median onset time of 22 days postoperatively. These minority cases were oversampled to 85 using ADASYN. The extra trees classifier demonstrated superior performance with recall, precision, and F1 score of 0.967, 0.914, and 0.937, respectively. Both validation using the test data and bootstrap resampling consistently demonstrated recall, precision, and F1 score exceeding 0.9. The model identified the peak value of C-reactive protein during the first 7 postoperative days as the most significant feature, followed by the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the potential of the ML approach to predict PPH occurrence following PD. Vigilance and early interventions guided by such model predictions could positively impact outcomes for high-risk patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE (S) Completion pancreatectomy (C.P.) is one acceptable treatment of choice in clinical scenarios such as management of post-pancreatectomy complications and recurrence in the pancreatic remnant. Studies referring to completion pancreatectomy as a distinct operation are limited, without emphasizing at the operation itself, rather reporting completion pancreatectomy as a possible option for treatment of various diseases. The identification of indications of CP in various pathologies and the clinical outcomes are therefore mandatory. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed in the Pubmed and Scopus Databases (February 2020),guided by the PRISMA protocol, for all studies reporting CP as a surgical procedure with reference at indications for performing it combined with postoperative morbidity and/or mortality. RESULTS Out of 1647 studies, 32 studies from 10 countries with 2775 patients in total, of whom 561 (20.2%) CPs met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Inclusion year ranged from 1964 to 2018 and were published from 1992 until 2019. 17 studies with a total number of 249 CPs were performed for post-pancreatectomy complications. Mortality rate was 44.5% (111 out of 249). Morbidity rate was (72.6%). 12 studies with 225 CPs were performed for isolated local recurrence after initial resection with a morbidity rate of 21.5% and 0% mortality rate in the early postoperative period. Two studies with a total number of 12 patients reported CP as a treatment option for recurrent neuroendocrine neoplasms. The mortality in those studies was 8% (1/12) and the mean morbidity rate was 58.3% (7/12). Finally, CP for refractory chronic pancreatitis was presented in one study with morbidity and mortality rates of 19% and 0%, respectively. CONCLUSION Completion pancreatectomy is a distinct treatment option for various pathologies. Morbidity and mortality rates depend on the indications of performing CP, the status performance of the patients and whether the operation is performed electively or urgently.

Abstract
Marginal ulcers, defined as ulcers at the duodenojejunostomy or gastrojejunostomy, are a known late-onset complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and total pancreatectomy (TP) with mean incidence ranging from 5.4% to 36% per the literature. These ulcers carry a risk of complications including hemorrhage or perforation which can result in significant mortality. Marginal ulcers from PD and TP causing portal vein erosion are extremely rare and given the high incidence of mortality, it is important to have a multimodal approach to the treatment with awareness that early operative management should be considered if other modalities fail. We discuss the case of a 57-year-old female with history of pancreatic tail intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) status post distal pancreatectomy/splenectomy and subsequent completion pancreatectomy for pancreatic head IPMN who presented with acute gastrointestinal bleed. The patient was successfully managed operatively with primary repair of the marginal ulcer after multiple failed endoscopic attempts.

Abstract
Importance Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) due to postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a life-threatening complication after pancreatoduodenectomy. However, there is no prediction tool for early identification of patients at high risk of late PPH. Objective To develop and validate a prediction model for PPH. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective prognostic study included consecutive patients with clinically relevant POPF who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy from January 1, 2009, to May 20, 2023, at the University Hospital Mannheim (derivation cohort), and from January 1, 2012, to May 31, 2022, at the University Hospital Dresden (validation cohort). Data analysis was performed from May 30 to July 29, 2023. Exposure Clinical and radiologic features of PPH. Main Outcomes and Measures Accuracy of a predictive risk score of PPH. A multivariate prediction model-the hemorrhage risk score (HRS)-was established in the derivation cohort (n = 139) and validated in the validation cohort (n = 154). Results A total of 293 patients (187 [64%] men; median age, 69 [IQR, 60-76] years) were included. The HRS comprised 4 variables with associations: sentinel bleeding (odds ratio [OR], 35.10; 95% CI, 5.58-221.00; P < .001), drain fluid culture positive for Candida species (OR, 14.40; 95% CI, 2.24-92.20; P < .001), and radiologic proof of rim enhancement of (OR, 12.00; 95% CI, 2.08-69.50; P = .006) or gas within (OR, 12.10; 95% CI, 2.22-65.50; P = .004) a peripancreatic fluid collection. Two risk categories were identified with patients at low risk (0-1 points) and high risk (≥2 points) to develop PPH. Patients with PPH were predicted accurately in the derivation cohort (C index, 0.97) and validation cohort (C index 0.83). The need for more invasive PPH management (74% vs 34%; P < .001) and severe complications (49% vs 23%; P < .001) were more frequent in high-risk patients compared with low-risk patients. Conclusions and Relevance In this retrospective prognostic study, a robust prediction model for PPH was developed and validated. This tool may facilitate early identification of patients at high risk for PPH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ruptured aneurysm is a serious complication of distal pancreatectomy (DP) or pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) that can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. This study aimed to examine the efficacy of a Viabahn stent graft for stopping bleeding after pancreatectomy. METHODS Between April 2016 and June 2022, we performed 245 pancreatectomies in our institution. Six patients experienced postoperative bleeding and underwent endovascular treatment. RESULTS All six cases of bleeding occurred post-PD (3.7%). The bleeding was from gastroduodenal artery (GDA) pseudoaneurysms in three patients, and Viabahn stent grafts were inserted. All three patients did not show liver function abnormalities or hepatic blood flow disorders. One patient with a Viabahn stent graft experienced rebleeding, which required further management to obtain hemostasis. Of the six cases in which there was hemorrhage, one case of bleeding from the native hepatic artery could not be managed. CONCLUSIONS Using the Viabahn stent graft is an effective treatment option for postoperative bleeding from GDA pseudoaneurysms following PD. In most cases, using this device resulted in successful hemostasis, without observed abnormalities in hepatic function or blood flow.

Abstract
Purpose Perioperative transfusion is reported to be an independent risk factor not only for postoperative complications but also for early recurrence of periampullary carcinoma after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in reducing the need for perioperative transfusion in iron deficiency anemia patients scheduled for PD. Methods Twenty-two male patients (hemoglobin [Hb] 7 to <13 g/dL) and 18 female patients (Hb 7 to <12 g/dL) were enrolled in the study group and administered FCM 1-3 weeks before PD. The perioperative transfusion rate was the primary endpoint; morbidity, length of postoperative hospital stay, change in hematological parameters after FCM injection, and adverse effects of FCM were also investigated. Results The perioperative transfusion rate of the study group was 22.5% (9 of 40). Hb level was significantly higher on the day of the operation compared to baseline (P < 0.001). Levels of Hb, transferrin saturation, and ferritin were higher at the follow-up compared to baseline (P = 0.008, P = 0.033, and P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions FCM administration was associated with a reduced need for perioperative transfusion and can safely stabilize hematological parameters.

Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to conduct a clinical review and analysis to recommend options for the prevention and treatment of postoperative hemorrhage. Patients and Methods A total of 138 patients who experienced postoperative hemorrhage after abdominal surgery in the period between January 2015 and December 2020 at the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, participated in this study. They were divided into a group with primary bleeding only and a secondary bleeding group. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were performed, followed by plotting of cumulative hazard and survival curves for the two groups. Results The main factors of interest found to be associated with secondary hemorrhage were duration of the operation, the time of the first bleeding incident, intervention time, performance of combined organ resection, use of surgical intervention, occurrence of abdominal infection, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), postoperative length of stay, and total hospitalization expenses. Among these, a long operative duration (>5 h) and an extended intervention time (>5 h) were identified as independent predictors of risk of secondary hemorrhage. Conclusions Secondary hemorrhage after abdominal surgery is mainly associated with subjective human factors, and it is an important cause of poor prognosis and even death. Proper reductions in operation time and implementation of a quick response to bleeding are the key factors in tackling bleeding. Further reduction in the rates of postoperative hemorrhage and mortality will require a concerted effort by surgeons in terms of both intraoperative surgical techniques and postoperative management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With a mortality rate of up to 30%, post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) remains a serious complication after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for cancer. Little is known about the long-term survival of patients after PPH. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the impact of PPH on long-term survival after PD. METHODS The study included 830 patients (PPH, n = 101; non-PPH, n = 729) from two centers, who underwent PD for oncological indications. PPH was defined as any bleeding event occurring within 90 days after surgery. A flexible parametric survival model was used to determine the evolution of the risk of death over time. RESULTS At postoperative day 90, PPH significantly increased the mortality rate (PPH vs. non-PPH: 19.8% vs. 3.7%, p < 0.0001) and severe postoperative complication rate (85.1% vs. 14.1%, p < 0.0001), and decreased median survival (18.6 months vs. 30.1 months, p = 0.0001). PPH was associated with an increased mortality risk until the sixth postoperative month. After this 6-month period, PPH had no more influence on mortality. CONCLUSIONS PPH had a negative impact on the short-term overall survival beyond postoperative day 90 and up to six months after PD. However, compared to non-PPH patients, this adverse event had no impact on mortality after a 6-month period.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The risk factors for achieving textbook outcome (TO) after laparoscopic duodenum-preserving total pancreatic head resection (LDPPHR-t) are unknown, and no relevant articles have been reported so far. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for achieving TO after LDPPHR-t. METHODS The risk factors for achieving TO after LDPPHR-t were retrospectively evaluated by logistic regression analysis in 31 consecutive patients from May 2020 to December 2021. RESULTS All LDPPHR-t procedures were successfully performed without conversion. There was no death within 90 days after surgery and no readmission within 30 days after discharge. The percentage of achieving TO after LDPPHR-t was 61.3% (19/31). Among the six TO items, the postoperative complication of grade B/C postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) occurred most frequently with 22.6%, followed by grade B/C bile leakage with 19.4%, Clavien-Dindo≥III complications with 19.4%, and grade B/C postpancreatectomy hemorrhage with 16.1%. POPF was the major obstacle to achieve TO after LDPPHR-t. Placing an endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) catheter and prolonged operation time (>311 min) were significantly associated with the decreased probability of achieving TO after LDPPHR-t (odd ratio (OR), 25.775; P =0.012 and OR, 16.378; P =0.020, respectively). Placing an ENBD catheter was the only significant independent risk factor for POPF after LDPPHR-t (OR, 19.580; P =0.017). Bile leakage was the independent risk factor for postpancreatectomy hemorrhage after LDPPHR-t (OR, 15.754; P =0.040). The prolonged operation time was significantly correlated with Clavien-Dindo grade≥III complications after LDPPHR-t (OR, 19.126; P =0.024). CONCLUSION Placing the ENBD catheter was the independent risk factor for POPF and achieving TO after LDPPHR-t. In order to reduce POPF and increase the probability of achieving TO, placing an ENBD catheter should be avoided prior to LDPPHR-t.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Resection of retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) en bloc with pancreas is challenging and controversial. This single-center retrospective study aimed to analyze the impact of pancreatic resection (PR) and its different types on short- and long-term outcomes in patients with RPS. METHODS Data from 242 consecutive patients with RPS who underwent surgical treatment at the Peking University Cancer Hospital Sarcoma Center between January 2010 and February 2021 were analyzed. Out of these, 90 patients underwent PR, including pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in 31 and distal pancreatectomy (DP) in 59. RESULTS Patients in the PR group had a higher major morbidity (37.8% vs. 14.5%) and mortality (8.9% vs. 1.3%) than those in the non-PR group, with a similar 5-year overall survival (OS) rate (46.9% vs. 53.6%). Patients in the PD and DP groups had a slight difference in major morbidity (48.4% vs. 32.2%), mortality (6.4% vs. 10.2%), and 5-year OS rates (43.3% vs. 49.3%). The PR type was not an independent risk factor for major morbidity or OS. CONCLUSIONS PR in RPS resection was associated with increased morbidity and mortality with minimal influence on survival. Patients with RPS undergoing PD and DP showed slight differences in terms of safety and OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-pancreaticoduodenectomy haemorrhage is a potentially life-threatening complication. Delay in the detection and subsequent management of complications contribute significantly to post-operative mortality and morbidity associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS All patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy at an Australian-based tertiary referral center between 2017 and 2022 were reviewed retrospectively. We identified those patients who suffered a post-pancreaticoduodenectomy haemorrhage and further analysed those patients who had their post-pancreaticoduodenectomy haemorrhage identified on repeated CT imaging performed within 24 h of their previous CT scan. RESULTS A total of 232 pancreaticoduodenectomies were identified for analysis during the study period, of which 23 patients (9.9%) suffered a post-pancreaticoduodenectomy haemorrhage. We present four patients who had their post-pancreaticoduodenectomy haemorrhage identified on repeat CT scan in the setting of a recent (within 24 h) CT scan which showed no evidence of active haemorrhage or pseudoaneurysm formation. All patients received prompt and definitive endovascular management through stent insertion or coil embolization resulting in successful cessation of bleeding. Three patients made an uncomplicated recovery thereafter. Unfortunately, one patient died as a complication of the bleed despite early and definitive endovascular intervention. CONCLUSION Our study highlights the importance of having a low threshold for repeated CT imaging in the post-pancreaticoduodenectomy setting, particularly when there remains a high index of suspicion clinically for a post-operative complication, even in the context of previous benign imaging. Given the complexity of pancreaticoduodenectomy, we believe early detection with liberal imaging allows the best chance at successfully managing the morbidity and mortality associated in the post-pancreaticoduodenectomy setting.

Abstract
Common hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and the possible cause is unclear. We report a case of intraperitoneal hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy who was discharged after embolization under digital subtraction angiography. We conside that this complication may be related to iatrogenic injury.

Abstract
Background Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) known as Whipple procedure is still one of the most complex abdominal surgeries used for treatment of periampullary tumors. PD is often followed with postoperative complications (pancreatic, biliar or intestinal fistula, haemorrhage, intraabdominal abscess, delayed gastric empting. Severe postoperative complications (SPC) can be reason for reoperation and reason of bad outcome of treatment and life treathening condition. Objective To investigate predicitive value of preoperative hypoalbuminemia for severe postoperative complications (SPC) in patients who have undergone Whipple pancreaticoduodenetomy (PD). However, no similiar study has been ever reported from our country until now. Methods In this retrospective-prospective study, 100 patients who have had Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy for malignant periampullary tumors at the Department for Surgery of University Clinic Center Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina were enrolled, from january of 2009 to decembre of 2021. All patients were preoperatively analysed according to serum albumine levels and presensce of hypolabuminemia (serum albumine levels <32g/l). Serum albumine biochemical test were done 1-2 days preoperatively. Clavien Dindo classification was used for determination patients with SPC. Patients who did not have SPC belonged to (I-II) Clavien Dindo group of patients while those who had SPC belonged to( III-V) Clavien Dindo group of patients. Results Out of 100 patients who have undergone pancreaticoduodenetomy, in 55 (55%) patients postoperative complications were noticed. Mortality rate was 18 (18%) and reoperation has been done in 20 cases (20%). SPC were noticed in 19 patients and most often were: delayed gastric emptying (20%), pancreatic fistula (13%) and intraabdominal collections (9%). Hypoalbuminemic patients had a significantly higher rate of severe postoperative complications ( p<0.05). Using hypoalbuminemia-SPC correlation analaysis, there is confirmed statistically significant correlation between hypoalbuminemia and SPC (ρ= 0.236; p<0.05). Conclusion Preoperative hypoalbuminemia can be used as predictor and prognostic factor for severe postoperative complications after Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy. Identification and optimization of serum albumin level prior to Whipple pancreatoduodenectomy may improve surgical outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Delayed hemorrhage (DH) is a rare and yet well-known fatal complication associated with postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). The study aimed to investigate whether arterial reinforcement (AR) using polyglycolic acid sheets (PAS) followed by fibrin sealant (FS) to the hepatic artery could prevent DH in the setting of POPF after PD. METHODS A total of 345 patients underwent PD for periampullary tumors from March 2011 to March 2022. From March 2011 to March 2018, 225 patients underwent PD, and AR was not performed (non-AR group). From April 2018 to March 2022, 120 patients underwent PD, and AR was performed (AR group). AR was achieved by wrapping the proper hepatic artery all the way down to the celiac artery with PAS followed by coating with FS. Demographic profile and various outcomes including DH of these two groups were compared and analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS In non-AR group, 48 (21.3%) and 12 (5.3%) patients had grade B and C POPF, respectively. In AR group, 26 (21.7%) and four (3.3%) patients had grade B and C POPF, respectively. The incidence of POPF was not statistically significant (p = .702) between the groups. Among the patients with grade B or C POPF, DH occurred in 14 (23.3%) patients in non-AR group and only one patient in AR group (p = .016). Of the 15 patients with DH, four (26.7%) patients died. CONCLUSION AR using PAS and FS is effective in preventing DH in the setting of POPF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although postoperative bleeding is a common and serious complication in breast cancer surgery, the risk factors remain unclear. Therefore, we examined the risk factors using a Japanese nationwide database. METHODS Patients who underwent breast cancer surgery between July 2010 and March 2020 were identified from a Japanese nationwide database. Multivariable analyses for 47 candidate risk factors (4 patient characteristics, 32 comorbidities, 5 tumor characteristics, 3 preoperative drug uses, and 3 surgical procedures) were conducted to investigate risk factors associated with postoperative bleeding requiring reoperation. Two sensitivity analyses were conducted: an analysis for postoperative bleeding with or without reoperation and an analysis for patients who underwent total mastectomy without breast reconstruction. RESULTS Among the 477,108 patients included, 7048 (1.5%) developed postoperative bleeding and 2357 (0.5%) underwent reoperation for postoperative bleeding. Male sex, old age, body mass index ≥ 25.0 kg/m2, several comorbidities (deficiency anemia, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, liver disease, psychoses, and valvular disease), preoperative heparin use, and several procedures were identified as risk factors. Deficiency anemia showed the highest odds ratio among the risk factors (4.41 [95% confidence interval, 3.63-5.36]). High odds ratios were also observed in total mastectomy (2.32 [2.10-2.56]), flap reconstruction (1.93 [1.55-2.40]), and preoperative heparin use (1.64 [1.26-2.14]). The results corresponded with the sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS This study identified several risk factors for postoperative bleeding in breast cancer surgery, such as high body mass index, anemia, cardiovascular diseases, liver diseases, psychoses, preoperative heparin use, and surgical procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a serious complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy and current predictors of POPF are inadequate. We developed a new fistula score to more accurately predict POPF. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 169 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between January 2010 and August 2021 at our institution and examined patients' risk factors according to the occurrence of grade B/C POPF. Muscle and fat were assessed on preoperative computed tomography images and cutoff values were determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS Grade B/C POPF occurred in 38 (22.5%) patients. Multivariate analysis of patients' risk factors revealed that sarcopenic obesity (odds ratio [OR] 2.94; p = .033), L3 subcutaneous fat area (SFA) ≥ 98.0 cm2 (OR 2.69; p = .049), and soft pancreatic texture (OR 27.5; p = .002) were independent risk factors of grade B/C POPF occurrence. In addition, a new fistula risk score based on these factors revealed that 63.6% of patients with high scores developed grade B/C POPF, while those with negligible or low scores did not. CONCLUSIONS A new fistula risk scoring system based on sarcopenic obesity, SFA, and pancreatic texture may accurately predict POFP.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Background:Postpancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) hemorrhage (PPH) is a life-threatening complication after PD. The main objective of this study was to evaluate incidence and factors associated with late PPH as well as the management strategy and outcomes. Methods: Between May 2017 and March 2020, clinical data from 192 patients undergoing PD were collected prospectively in the CHIRPAN Database (NCT02871336) and retrospectively analyzed. In our institution, all patients scheduled for a PD are routinely admitted for monitoring and management in intensive/intermediate care unit (ICU/IMC). Results: The incidence of late PPH was 17% (32 of 192), whereas the 90-day mortality rate of late PPH was 19% (6 of 32). Late PPH was associated with 90-day mortality (P = 0.001). Using multivariate analysis, independent risk factors for late PPH were postoperative sepsis (P = 0.036), and on day 3, creatinine (P = 0.025), drain fluid amylase concentration (P = 0.023), lipase concentration (P < 0.001), and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration (P < 0.001). We developed two predictive scores for PPH occurrence, the PANCRHEMO scores. Score 1 was associated with 68.8% sensitivity, 85.6% specificity, 48.8% predictive positive value, 93.2% negative predictive value, and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curves of 0.841. Score 2 was associated with 81.2% sensitivity, 76.9% specificity, 41.3% predictive positive value, 95.3% negative predictive value, and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.859. Conclusions: Routine ICU/IMC monitoring might contribute to a better management of these complications. Some predicting factors such as postoperative sepsis and biological markers on day 3 should help physicians to determine patients requiring a prolonged ICU/IMC monitoring.

Abstract
Introduction: One of the most important causes of morbidity in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) surgery is pancreatic anastomosis leakage. There is a possibility of pancreatic fistula even in the most experienced hands. After PD, pancreatic fistula occurs between 10% and 20% in various series. This study aims to evaluate the effects of pancreatic duct size and pancreatic tissue on the development of pancreatic fistula after PD is performed in our center.
Material and Method: Pancreatic duct size was categorized as small <3 mm and large >3 mm. Pancreatic gland tissue was categorized as a soft, medium, and hard. These variables were calculated preoperatively with the help of computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography(USG), and Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and postoperative pathology results. It was accepted that the 24-hour flow rate of the drain behind the pancreatic anastomosis was more than 50 ml during 3 days after PD and/or the amylase concentration of the drain content measured at 3 different times was 3 times higher than the serum amylase concentration.
Results: A total of 90 patients were included in the study, anastomotic leakage was not observed in 63 (70%) of 90 patients, and leakage was observed in 27 (30%) patients. The mean age was 71.22±10.78 years (p=0.615). There was no statistically significant difference between the ductus diameters between the two groups (p=0.240). There was no statistical difference between the groups formed according to pancreatic duct width. (p=0.059). It was observed that 60.3% of the patients in the non-leakage group had a hard appearance, and this rate was statistically significantly reduced to 29.6% in the patients with leakage (p=0.008).
Conclusion: In summary, our study showed that pancreatic fistula after PD is associated with soft pancreatic parenchyma. The surgeon should consider this risk factor when performing a PD and be more careful to reduce the rate of pancreatic fistula.

[PMID: 36159416 PMCID: PMC9477674 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v10.i26.9276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2021] [Revised: 03/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most common and serious complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). To effectively reduce the incidence of POPF, we designed a new type of pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ), which was termed one-half layer PJ with the rear wall of the pancreas reinforced.
AIM To explore the clinical application value of this new technique.
METHODS We compared 62 patients who had undergone PD by either the traditional duct-to-mucosa anastomoses or the new one-half layer PJ with the rear wall of the pancreas reinforced method at our hospital from May 2015 to September 2019. All 62 patients were operated by the same surgeon experienced in both procedures. We retrospectively analyzed patient characteristics, perioperative outcomes, and surgical results.
RESULTS There was no significant difference between the two groups in basic information except the postoperative hospital stays, 14.7 ± 5.4 d in the traditional duct-to-mucosa anastomoses group and 12.0 ± 4.2 d in the one-half layer PJ group (P = 0.042). In terms of postoperative complications, the one-half layer PJ group had a lower rate of POPF than the traditional group. The overall number of cases with POPF was 8 (24.2%) in the traditional group and 2 (6.9%) in the one-half layer group (P = 0.017). Additionally, the rate of grades B and C POPF was lower in the one-half layer group (3.4%) compared with that (12.1%) in the traditional group (P = 0.010). One patient died due to hemorrhage caused by severe pancreatic fistula in the traditional group.
CONCLUSION One-half layer PJ with the rear wall of the pancreas reinforced is a safe and feasible procedure that can successfully reduce the rate of POPF. It may be a promising technique for PJ after PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients with suspected venous infiltration, a R0 resection is most of the time not possible without venous resection (VR). To investigate this special kind of patients, this meta-analysis was conducted to compare mortality, morbidity and long-term survival of pancreatic resections with (VR+) and without venous resection (VR-). METHODS A systematic search was performed in Embase, Pubmed and Web of Science. Studies which compared over twenty patients with VR + to VR-for PDAC with ≥1 year follow up were included. Articles including arterial resections were excluded. Statistical analysis was performed with the random effect Mantel-Haenszel test and inversed variance method. Individual patient data was compared with the log-rank test. RESULTS Following a review of 6403 papers by title and abstract and 166 by full text, a meta-analysis was conducted of 32 studies describing 2216 VR+ and 5380 VR-. There was significantly more post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (6.5% vs. 5.6%), R1 resections (36.7% vs. 28.6%), N1 resections (70.3% vs. 66.8%) and tumors were significantly larger (34.6 mm vs. 32.8 mm) in patients with VR+. Of all VR + patients, 64.6% had true pathological venous infiltration. The 90-day mortality, individual patient data for overall survival and pooled multivariate hazard ratio for overall survival were similar. CONCLUSION VR is a safe and feasible option in patients with pancreatic cancer and suspicion of venous involvement, since VR during pancreatic surgery has comparable overall survival and complication rates.

Abstract
Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) is a severe complication of pancreatic surgery. This condition often develops on the background of pancreatic fistula. In our report, we demonstrate an unusual case of spontaneous cessation of severe postpancreatectomy common hepatic artery (СHA) hemorrhage after distal pancreatectomy in a patient with celiac artery stenosis (CAS). A 64-year-old male diagnosed with pancreatic tail tumor underwent extended distal pancreatectomy. He developed pancreatic fistula and was discharged with an abdominal drain, and was readmitted with severe postpancreatectomy hemorrhage from a pseudoaneurysm of the CHA. The bleeding stopped spontaneously due to CHA thrombosis. The patient developed no ischemic symptoms. Spontaneous severe postpancreatectomy hemorrhage cessation is an extremely rare phenomenon. Vascular anomalies must be considered when attempting interventional radiology treatment. CHA probably may be sacrificed with no ischemic consequences in case of severe hemorrhage in patients with CAS.

Abstract
Background
Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) and Hemosuccus Pancreaticus (HP) may present with slow but significant intraluminal bleed which may not be evident on imaging. We evaluated the efficacy of empirical segmental-angioembolization of splenic artery in intraluminal PPH and HP.
Result
This is a cross-sectional study done by analyzing all consecutive patients with PPH and HP who underwent empirical coil embolization of splenic artery. There were total of 137 pancreaticoduodenectomies (PD), 68 distal pancreatectomies (DP), 11 patients with median pancreatectomies (MP) and 134 admissions for acute pancreatitis and exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis during the study period. Eleven (5.1%) patients had PPH, of which two were managed surgically. Among nine patients, 4/9 (44.4%) with pseudoaneurysm on computed tomography angiography (CTA) were excluded. Among pancreatitis, 7 (5.2%) had HP, and 5/7 (71.4%) patients with pseudoaneurysm on CTA were excluded. Hence, seven patients, PPH—5 and HP—2, were included. Both HP patients were managed successfully with empirical segmental coil embolization of splenic artery. Among PPH, one patient required laparotomy for failed embolization. Overall, 6/7 (85.7%) had successful coil embolization. No reintervention, continued bleed, or blood transfusions were required postprocedure, and no splenic infarct or abscess was seen in any of the seven patients postembolization. The 72-hour rebleed rate was 1/7 (14.3%), which was managed surgically.
Conclusion
Empirical segmental coil embolization of splenic artery in intraluminal pancreatic bleed holds promise as a salvage life-saving procedure even when no blush or pseudoaneurysm is evident.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A novel procedure called shark mouth pancreaticojejunostomy (SMP) was developed, for the reconstruction of the pancreatic stump which has a theoretical advantage for anastomosis healing and wide applicability. METHODS A comparative study of the patients who underwent SMP (SMP cohort) and those who underwent end-to-end dunking pancreaticojejunostomy (historic cohort) at Peking University Third Hospital was conducted. Each group was analyzed for the incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) and morbidities. RESULTS The clinicopathological data of 151 patients from the SMP cohort and 82 patients from the historic cohort were analyzed. In the SMP group, the rate of CR-POPF was 7.3% (11/151), which was significantly lower than the rate of CR-POPF in the historic group as 19.5% (16/82) (P = 0.005). The primary results were unaffected by sensitivity analyses based on several risk factors for CR-POPF. The rates of morbidities besides CR-POPF were 15.9% (24/151) in the SMP group and 17.1% (14/82) in the historic cohort (P = 0.194). The principal results were not changed by the propensity score matched (PSM) analysis. CONCLUSION SMP is a safe and simple surgical procedure for the reconstruction of the pancreatic stump compared with end-to-end dunking pancreticojejunostomy.

Evaluation of Open Surgical and Endovascular Treatment Options for Visceral Artery Erosions after Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Surgery. Curr Oncol 2022; 29:2472-2482. [PMID: 35448175 PMCID: PMC9025466 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol29040201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 03/26/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: To report and compare the results of endovascular and open surgical treatment for erosion bleeding of visceral arteries following pancreatitis and pancreatic surgery. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 65 consecutive patients (46 males, mean age 63 ± 14 years) presenting with visceral artery erosions between January 2011 and December 2020. Endpoints were technical success, freedom from reintervention, stent-graft-related complications, and 30-day and one-year mortality. Results: The causes of erosion bleeding included complications of surgical treatment for the pancreas and upper gastrointestinal tract (75%), pancreatitis (19%), and spontaneous bleeding (6%). Pancreatectomy was performed in 34 (52%) patients, representing 2% of all pancreatectomy procedures (n = 1645) performed in our hospital during the study period. A total of 37 (57%) patients underwent endovascular treatment (EVT), and 28 (43%) patients had open surgery (OS) as a primary treatment. Eight of 37 (22%) patients in the EVT group underwent stent-graft treatment of the eroded vessels and 28 (78%) coil embolization. Six (9%) patients underwent reintervention with no significant differences between EVT and OS groups (11% vs. 7%, p = 0.692). Postoperative morbidity and complications in 52% of all patients were higher in the OS group than in the EVT group (41% vs. 68%, p = 0.029). The in-hospital 30-days mortality rate for all patients was 25%, and it was higher in the OS group than in the EVT group (14% vs. 39%, p = 0.017). Conclusions: An endovascular-first strategy for treating visceral arteries erosions may be preferred to reduce the complications associated with open surgery if patients are hemodynamically stable and have no anastomotic insufficiency. Endovascular treatment may be associated with better in-hospital survival when compared to primary open surgery. Further studies are required to identify the optimal approach.

Abstract
Background Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage grade C (PPH C) is a dreaded complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with high mortality rate. Concurrent risk factors for PPH C have been difficult to recognize. Connection between postoperative pancreatic fistulas (POPF) and PPH C is well known, but POPF is often unknown prior to the PPH. The aim of this retrospective study was to define potential predictive factors for PPH C. Methods Retrospectively, 517 patients who underwent PD between 2003 and 2018 were included in the study. Twenty-three patients with PPH C were identified, and a matched control group of 92 patients was randomly selected. Preoperative data (body mass index, cardiovascular disease, history of abdominal surgery, biliary stent, C-reactive protein (CRP), ASA-score), perioperative data (bleeding, pancreatic anastomosis, operation time), and postoperative data (CRP, drain amylase, POPF, biliary fistula) were analyzed as potential predictors of PPH C. Results High postoperative CRP (median 140 mg/L on day 5 or 6) correlated with the development of PPH C (p < 0.05). Postoperative drain amylase levels were not clinically relevant for occurrence of PPH C. Grade C POPF or biliary leak was observed in the majority of the PPH C patients, but the leaking anastomoses were not detected before the bleeding started. Discussion High postoperative CRP levels are related to an increased risk of PPH C.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate technical aspects and clinical results of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for delayed postoperative arterial bleeding after pancreatic surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS There were 821 pancreatectomies between 2012 and 2020. Delayed bleeding occurred in 106 (12.9%) patients; 74 patients were included in the study. Previous pancreatic head resection was carried out in 75.7% of cases, pancreatic body resection - in 17.6% of cases, pancreatic tail resection - in 6.8% of patients. Primary endpoint was technical success of TAE, secondary endpoints - complications after TAE, as well as recurrent bleeding after embolization. RESULTS Angiography of celiac-mesenteric arterial system was performed in 74 patients (91 procedures). The most common sources of bleeding were gastroduodenal and superior mesenteric arteries (35.7%), jejunal arteries (13.1%), common hepatic artery (11.9%). Combination of embolization agents was applied for TAE (metal coils and non-calibrated PVA particles, 48.6%). In 11 (14.9%) patients, we applied stent-grafts. Technical success rate was 100%. Recurrent bleeding occurred in 13 (17.6%) patients. In-hospital mortality was 12.2% (n=9). CONCLUSION TAE is an effective treatment procedure in patients with arrosive bleeding. This method is characterized by high technical efficiency and low in-hospital mortality, but it does not affect recurrence of bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a lethal complication of biliary-pancreatic surgery (BPS). The role of endoscopic intervention has not been fully defined in such a critical condition. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of endoscopic hemostasis in a retrospective cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients with acute UGIB after BPS who received interventional endoscopy between January 2007 and August 2020 were included in this study. The clinical characteristics were collected and analyzed to screen for predictive factors significantly associated with successful hemostasis. RESULTS Among 37,772 patients who underwent BPS, 26 patients (0.069%) developed acute UGIB. The sites and causes of hemorrhage were as follows: gastroenteric anastomoe (n=17), gastric stump (n=2), jejunal anastomose (n=1), duodenal bulb ulcer (n=2), pancreatojejunal anastomosis hemorrhage (n=1), cholangiojejunal anastomose (n=1), gastroenteric anastomose and gastric stump hemorrhage (n=1), and Dieulafoy lesion (n=1). Successful endoscopic hemostasis was achieved in 19 (73.1%) of the 26 UGIB patients. In the 7 patients who failed endotherapy, 1 patient received a successful radiologic intervention, 6 patients underwent reoperation and achieved hemostasis in 4, and the other 2 patients died after reoperation. Logistic regression analysis showed that presentation-to-endoscopy time (≤12 h) was the only independent predictive factor associated with successful endoscopic hemostasis. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic hemostasis is relatively safe and effective in controlling UIGB after BPS. Prompt intervention (≤12 h) could improve the success rate of endoscopic hemostasis.

Abstract
Following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), the modality of pancreato-enteric continuity restoration may impact on postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) risk. The aim of this study is to compare, among patients with soft pancreas and at moderate/high risk for POPF, the outcomes of PD with Pancreato-Gastrostomy (PG), versus Isolated Jejunal Loop Pancreato-Jejunostomy (IJL-PJ). 193 patients with a Callery Fistula Risk Score (C-FRS) ≥ 3 operated at 3 HPB Units, two performing PG and one IJL-PJ as their preferred anastomotic technique following PD (2009-2019) were included in this study (PG = 123, IJL-PJ = 70). Primary outcomes were POPF, clinically relevant (cr-)postoperative pancreatic hemorrhage (cr-PPH), delayed gastric emptying (cr-DGE), and postoperative major complications and mortality. POPF, cr-PPH, and cr-DGE occurred in 21.8%, 17.6%, and 11.4% of patients, and did not differ significantly between PG (26%, 19.5%, and 10.6%, respectively) and IJL-PJ (17.1%, 14.3%, and 12.9%, respectively; all p > 0.05) patients. Major (Dindo ≥ 3) complication and mortality rates were 26.4% and 3.3%, respectively, and did not differ significantly between PG (29.3% and 3.8%) and IJL-PJ (21.4% and 2.9) patients (p > 0.05). A faster surgical drain and nasogastric tube removal matched a significantly shorter hospitalization among IJL-PJ patients (median LOS: 18 days versus 25 days among PG patients, p < 0.001). In conclusion, IJL-PJ and PG, when performed by surgeons specialized with the concerned anastomotic technique in patients with soft pancreas and moderate/high risk for POPF, have similar results in terms of perioperative mortality and postoperative complications both overall and specific for PD.

Preventive covered stent placement at the gastroduodenal artery stump in angiogram-negative sentinel hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2021; 46:4995-5006. [PMID: 34037809 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-021-03123-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 05/03/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcomes of preventive covered stent placement at the gastroduodenal artery stump in patients with angiogram-negative sentinel hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS Between July 2006 and September 2018, patients undergoing computed tomography angiography or diagnostic angiography for sentinel hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy were retrospectively reviewed. Patients having angiogram-negative angiography and undergoing preventive covered stent placement or conservative treatment were included. Clinical outcomes, technique success, and complications were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 25 patients (mean age 62.5 years) were evaluated, including 15 patients underwent preventive covered stent placement at the gastroduodenal artery stump and 10 patients received conservative treatments. The clinical success rates were 50% (5/10) and 86.7% (13/15) for conservative treatments and covered stent groups, respectively (p = 0.07). In the conservative treatment group, delayed massive hemorrhage occurred in five patients, two of whom died of recurrent bleeding due to gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm within 16 days, and two had intraluminal hemorrhage within 5 days. In the covered stent group, one patient had inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm 1 day after the placement of the covered stent, and one had recurrent bleeding due to duodenal ulcer within 14 days. The 30-day mortality was 40% (4/10) and 0 in the conservative treatment and covered stent groups, respectively (p = 0.02). The difference in the overall survival was nonsignificant between the two groups (p = 0.23). CONCLUSIONS The preventive covered stent placement at the gastroduodenal artery stump is safe and reduces delayed massive hemorrhage and short-term mortality in patients with angiogram-negative sentinel hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Analyze a multicenter cohort of deceased patients after pancreatectomy in high-volume centers in France by performing a root-cause analysis (RCA) to define the avoidable mortality rate. BACKGROUND Despite undeniable progress in pancreatic surgery for over a century, postoperative outcome remain particularly worse and could be further improved. METHODS All patients undergoing pancreatectomy between January 2015 and December 2018 and died post-operatively within 90 days after were included. RCA was performed in two stages: the first being the exhaustive collection of data concerning each patient from preoperative to death and the second being blind analysis of files by an independent expert committee. A typical root cause of death was defined with the identification of avoidable death. RESULTS Among the 3195 patients operated on in nine participating centers, 140 (4.4%) died within 90 days after surgery. After the exclusion of 39 patients, 101 patients were analyzed. The cause of death was identified in 90% of cases. After RCA, mortality was preventable in 30% of cases, mostly consequently to a preoperative assessment (disease evaluation) or a deficient postoperative management (notably pancreatic fistula and hemorrhage). An inappropriate intraoperative decision was incriminated in 10% of cases. The comparative analysis showed that young age and arterial resection, especially unplanned, were often associated with avoidable mortality. CONCLUSION One third of postoperative mortality after pancreatectomy seems to be avoidable, even if the surgery is performed in high volume centers. These data suggest that improving postoperative pancreatectomy outcome requires a multidisciplinary, rigorous and personalized management.

Delayed post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage and bleeding recurrence after percutaneous endovascular treatment: risk factors from a bi-centric study of 307 consecutive patients. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2021; 406:1893-1902.

Abstract
PURPOSE Delayed post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) is still one of the most dreaded complications after pancreatic surgery. Its management is now focused on percutaneous endovascular treatments (PETs). METHODS Between 2013 and 2019, 307 patients underwent pancreatic resection. The first endpoint of this study was to determine predictive factors of delayed PPH. The second endpoint was to describe the management of intra-abdominal abscesses (IAA). The third endpoint was to identify risk factors of bleeding recurrence after PET. Patients were divided into two cohorts: A retrospective analysis was performed ("cohort 1," "learning set") to highlight predictive factors of delayed PPH. Then, we validated it on a prospective maintained cohort, analyzed retrospectively ("cohort 2," "validation set"). Second and third endpoints studies were made on the entire cohort. RESULTS In cohort 1, including 180 patients, 24 experienced delayed PPH. Multivariate analysis revealed that POPF diagnosis on postoperative day (POD) 3 (p=0.004) and IAA (p=0.001) were independent predictive factors of delayed PPH. In cohort 2, association of POPF diagnosis on POD 3 and IAA was strongly associated with delayed PPH (area under the curve [AUC] 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.59-0.94]; p=0.003). Concerning our second endpoint, delayed PPH occurred less frequently in patients who underwent postoperative drainage procedure than in patients without IAA drainage (p=0.002). Concerning our third endpoint, a higher body mass index (BMI) (p=0.027), occurrence of postoperative IAA (p=0.030), and undrained IAA (p=0.011) were associated with bleeding recurrence after the first PET procedure. CONCLUSION POPF diagnosis on POD 3 and intra-abdominal abscesses are independent predictive factors of delayed PPH. Therefore, patients presenting an insufficiently drained POPF leading to intra-abdominal abscess after pancreatic surgery should be considered as a high-risk situation of delayed PPH. High BMI, occurrence of postoperative IAA, and undrained IAA were associated with recurrence of bleeding after PET.

Abstract
Background One of the critical steps during pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) procedure lies in identifying the complicated vascular anatomy of the resected area. The blood supply usually stems from branches of the celiac and the superior mesenteric arteries. However, only in 55-79% of surgeries, the anatomy of the blood vessels encountered by the surgeon is considered normal, while in the remaining cases, there are vascular variations that make these surgeries even more challenging. Any change or deviation from the known surgical course of PD makes surgery difficult and can result in an increase in intra/postoperative complications. In order to reduce difficulties encountered during PD, as well as reducing complication rates and improving surgical outcomes, a preliminary design, which includes preoperative identification of anatomical variations, is needed. The most accurate and accessible tool for identifying such variations is computed tomographic angiography (CTA). The aim of this retrospective study is to assess the prevalence of vascular anomalies encountered during PD, and examine whether there is an association between these anomalies and intra/postoperative morbidity and mortality. Methods A retrospective study over 5 years was performed at the HPB and Surgical Oncology Unit, Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel. The charts of all patients submitted to PD were reviewed, and all patients with vascular anomalies were included. The types of anatomical variant as well as other information were collected. For statistical purposes, the group of patients with vascular anomalies was compared to a control group with identical demographic characteristics. A statistical analysis on possible association between vascular anomalies and intra/postoperative complications (mainly bleeding) was performed. Results During the aforementioned period, 202 patients underwent PD, and in 41 (20.3%) vascular anomalies were identified. The majority of these patients (32/41) had single anatomical variant, where two and three anatomical variants were identified in seven and two patients, respectively. The most common vascular anomaly was replaced right hepatic artery, noticed in 34 patients (83%). The most common indication for PD for both groups (anatomical variant and control group) was pancreas adenocarcinoma (56%). Intraoperative complication, in the form of bleeding, developed in 6/41 patients (14.6%) of the anatomical variant group and none in the control group. Postoperative complication rates, including post- pancreatoduodenectomy hemorrhage (PPH), postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), intra-abdominal abscess and wound infection were almost identical for both groups. One case of death within 30 days occurred, and it was in the anatomical variant group. Conclusions Anatomical vascular anomalies are a common variant encountered during PD, with RRHA being the most common. Although postoperative morbidity and mortality are not affected by the presence of these anomalies, intraoperative bleeding rate is higher in this specific group, thus; a preoperative diagnosis by means of CTA is mandatory.

Before sentinel bleeding: early prediction of postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) with a CT-based scoring system. Eur Radiol 2021; 31:6879-6888. [PMID: 33665718 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-021-07788-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2020] [Revised: 01/30/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Clinically significant pancreatic fistula (POPF) has been established as a well-known risk factor for late and severe postpancreatectomy hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) (postpancreatectomy pancreatic fistula-associated hemorrhage [PPFH]). Our aim was to assess whether contrast-enhanced CT scan after PD is an effective tool for early prediction of PPFH. METHODS From a prospectively acquired database, all consecutive patients who underwent PD between January 2013 and May 2019 were identified; within this database, all patients who were evaluated, for clinical suspicion of POPF, with at least one contrast-enhanced CT scan examination, were enrolled in this retrospective study. The selected CT findings included perianastomotic fluid collections and air bubbles; pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) was analyzed in terms of dehiscence and defect. RESULTS One hundred seventy-eight out of 953 PD patients (18.7%) suffered from clinically significant POPF; after exclusions, 166 patients were enrolled. Among this subset, 33 patients (19.9%) had at least one PPFH episode. In multivariable analysis, PPFH was associated with postoperative CT evidence of fluid collections (p = 0.046), air bubbles (p = 0.046), and posterior PJ defect (p < 0.001). Based on these findings, a practical 4-point prediction score was developed (AUC: 0.904, Se: 76%, Sp: 93.8%): patients with a score ≥ 3 demonstrated a significantly higher risk of PPFH development (OR = 45.6, 95% CI: 13.0-159.3). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative CT scan permits early stratification of PPFH risk, thus providing an actual aid for patients' management. KEY POINTS • Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) is a dramatic, clinically unpredictable occurrence. • After pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), early identification of posterior pancreaticojejunostomy defect, perianastomotic air bubbles, and retroperitoneal fluid collections enables effective PPH risk stratification by means of a practical CT-based 4-point scoring system. • CT scan after PD allows a paradigm shift in the management PPH, from a conventional "wait and see" approach, to a more proactive one that relies on early anticipation and timely prevention.

Abstract
Background Postoperative hemorrhage is a potentially lethal complication of pancreatoduodenectomy. This study reports on the use of endovascular hepatic artery stents in the management of postpancreatectomy hemorrhage. Methods This is a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained, consecutive dataset of 440 patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy over 68 months. Data are presented on bleeding events and outcomes, and contextualized by the clinical course of the denominator population. International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery terminology was used to define postpancreatectomy hemorrhage. Results Sixty-seven (15%) had postoperative hemorrhage. Fifty (75%) were male and this gender difference was significant (P = 0.001; 2 proportions test). Postoperative pancreatic fistulas were more frequent in the postoperative hemorrhage group (P = 0.029; 2 proportions test). The median (interquartile range [IQR]) delay between surgery and postoperative hemorrhage was 5 days (2-14 days). Twenty-six (39%) required intervention comprising reoperation alone in 12, embolization alone in 5, and endovascular hepatic artery stent deployment in 5. Four further patients underwent more than 1 intervention with 2 of these having stents. Endovascular stent placement achieved initial hemostasis in 5 of 7 (72%). Follow-up was for a median (IQR) of 199 days (145-400 days) poststent placement. In 2 patients, the stent remained patent at last follow-up. The remaining 5 stents occluded with a median (IQR) period of proven patency of 10 days (8-22 days). Conclusions This study shows that in the specific setting of postpancreatoduodenectomy hemorrhage with either a short remnant gastroduodenal artery bleed or a direct bleed from the hepatic artery, where embolization risks occlusion with compromise of liver arterial inflow, endovascular hepatic artery stent is an important hemostatic option but is associated with a high risk of subsequent graft occlusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND /Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the efficacy of CT findings and perioperative characteristics to predict post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH): a critical complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS The records of 590 consecutive patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at three institutes between 2012 and 2018 were included. The presence of a vascular wall abnormality or ascites with high density (vascular abnormality) on postoperative day (POD) 5-10 contrast-enhanced CT (early CT), perioperative characteristics, and any PPH or pseudoaneurysm formation (PPH events) were analyzed through a multivariate analysis. RESULTS PPH events occurred in 48 out of 590 patients (8%). The vascular abnormality on early CT and the C-reactive protein (CRP) value on POD 3 were independent risk factors for PPH events after POD5 (vascular abnormality: odds ratio 6.42, p = 0.001; CRP on POD 3: odds ratio 1.17, p = 0.016). The sensitivity of vascular abnormality for PPH events was 24% (7/29), and the positive predictive value was 30% (7/23). The combination of vascular abnormality and a high CRP value (≥15.5 mg/dL) on postoperative day 3 had a higher positive predictive value of 64% (7/11) than the vascular abnormality alone. None of the seven PPH events that occurred more than one month after surgery were foreseen via early CT. CONCLUSION The combination of vascular abnormality and high CRP value was associated with increasing risk of PPH events after pancreaticoduodenectomy, but the low sensitivity of early CT must be noted as an important shortcoming. The normal findings on early CT could not eliminate the risk of late PPH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of empiric embolization for postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) with negative angiographic signs of active bleeding. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 100 patients (76 men, 24 women) who were diagnosed with PPH with angiographic findings revealing no signs of active bleeding from December 2013 to December 2019 were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether the procedures were performed with or without empiric embolization in angiography (group of empiric embolization, N=47; group of no embolization, N=53). Data reflecting patients' characteristics, hemorrhagic details, classification of PPH grade, and postoperative complications were acquired. The rates of clinical success in hemostasis and mortality were compared between the group of empiric embolization and the group of no embolization. RESULTS In the group of empiric embolization, the rate of clinical success in hemostasis and mortality were 61.7% and 27.7%, respectively. In the group of no embolization, the rates of clinical success in hemostasis and mortality were 39.6% and 13.2%, respectively. The rate of clinical success in hemostasis in the group of empiric embolization was significantly higher than that in the group of no embolization (p = 0.028). There was no statistically significant difference in mortality between the different groups (p = 0.071). CONCLUSION The clinical success rate of hemostasis in patients with empiric embolization is higher than that in patients with no embolization. Empiric embolization may be an efficacious hemostatic treatment for PPH with angiographic findings revealing no signs of active bleeding.

Abstract
Postpancreatectomy haemorrhage (PPH) is a rare and life-threatening complication that can occur after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Recently, radiological intervention has become a first-line approach for the diagnosis and treatment of late PPH in haemodynamically stable patients. Surgical intervention should be performed in haemodynamically unstable patients. We report the case of a 54-year-old man who underwent PD for ampullary carcinoma. On postoperative day (POD) 20, he developed a late PPH in the context of pancreatic fistula that was accompanied by hypotension and tachycardia. Therefore, emergency relaparotomy was performed, but the bleeding site was not detected due to severe adhesions in the surgical field. Thus, urgent angiography was performed immediately, and active bleeding was detected from the distal part of the proper hepatic artery. Coil embolisation of the proper hepatic artery trunk was successfully performed. No intrahepatic abscess or liver failure was subsequently observed, and the patient left our hospital on POD 27. This case shows that radiological intervention is a first choice for the diagnosis and treatment of haemodynamically stable late PPH and that it also might still be a first choice and also be safer and more effective than surgical intervention even with unstable haemodynamics.

Abstract
Introduction Of the complications following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), postpancreatoduodenectomy hemorrhage (PPH) is the least common, but severe forms can be life-threatening without urgent treatment. While early PPH is mostly related to surgical hemostasis, late PPH is more likely due to complex physiopathological pathways secondary to different etiologies. The understanding of such etiologies could therefore be of great interest to help guide the treatment of severe, potentially life-threatening, late PPH cases. Objective The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the causes of PPH as a complication and explore a possible association between the causes and the severity of late PPH. Methods A retrospective study was performed at the HPB and Surgical Oncology Unit, Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel. The charts of all patients submitted for PD were reviewed, and all patients with PPH were included. The timing, cause, and severity of PPH as well as other information were collected. A statistical analysis on the possible association between cause and severity of late PPH was performed. Results A total of 347 patients underwent PD, 18 of whom (5.18%) developed PPH. Early PPH was reported in 1 patient (5.6%) with severe bleeding from the gastric staple line. Late PPH was reported in 17 patients (94.4%). The most common causes of late PPH were bleeding from a vascular pseudoaneurysm (PSA) reported in 6 patients, 1 with mild and 5 with severe hemorrhage, and bleeding from a gastroenteric anastomosis marginal ulcer reported in 6 patients, all with mild hemorrhage. No etiology was found in 5 patients with mild hemorrhage. A significant association was found between the severity of late hemorrhage and vascular PSA as the cause of the bleeding (p = 0.001). All PSA bleeding occurred in cases complicated by a postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), with a significant statistical association (p < 0.001). Conclusions The most common cause of PPH was bleeding from a vascular PSA; the majority of these cases involved severe bleeding with late presentation, and all were associated with a POPF formation. In such cases, early detection by computed tomography angiography is mandatory, thereby promoting urgent treatment by angiography of vascular bleeding complications following PD.

Abstract
Simple Summary The definite risk factor of postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) is still unknown in spite of a lethal complication of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). In this study, we evaluated whether GNRI is a reliable marker for PPH following PD. The present study retrospectively evaluated 121 patients treated with PD at Ageo Central General Hospital in Japan. Ten patients had developed PPH. Among them, the patients were divided into bleeding group (n = 10) and non-bleeding group (n = 111). The bleeding group had significantly low geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) values compared to those in the non-bleeding group (p = 0.001). The cut-off value of GNRI was determined by 92 accounting for a sensitivity 80.0%, specificity 82.9% using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. A GNRI of <92 was statistically identified as an independently risk factor of PPH risk following PD. Abstract Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) is the most lethal complication of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). The main risk factor for PPH is the development of a postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). Recent evidence shows that the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) may be predictive indicator for POPF. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether GNRI is a reliable predictive marker for PPH following PD. The present study retrospectively evaluated 121 patients treated with PD at Ageo Central General Hospital in Japan between January 2015 and March 2020. We investigated the potential of age, gender, body mass index, serum albumin, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification (ASA), diabetes mellitus and smoking status, time taken for the operation, estimated blood loss, and postoperative complications (POPF, bile leak, and surgical site infections) to predict the risk of PPH following PD using univariate and multivariate analyses. Ten patients had developed PPH with an incidence of 8.3%. Among them, the patients were divided into bleeding group (n = 10) and non-bleeding group (n = 111). The bleeding group had significantly lower GNRI values than those in the non-bleeding group (p = 0.001). We determined that the cut-off value of GNRI was 92 accounting for a sensitivity 80.0%, specificity 82.9%, and likelihood ratio of 4.6 using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. A GNRI of <92 was statistically associated with PPH in both univariate (p < 0.001) and multivariate analysis (p = 0.01). Therefore, we could identify that a GNRI < 92 was an independently potential predictor of PPH risk following PD. We should alert surgeons if patients have low level GNRI before PD.

Abstract
Post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage is a life-threatening complication that occurs in 2-10% of patients. The most common location for post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage is the gastroduodenal artery stump. Nonetheless, unusual sources of hemorrhage, which are hard to locate, exist. Here, we report a rare postoperative hemorrhage after robotic-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic head cancer. A 67-year-old man presenting with appetite loss, general fatigue and painless jaundice was admitted to our ward. The patient had an elevated level of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (50 U/mL). Computed tomography scan revealed a 17-mm wide low-density area in the uncinate process of the pancreas. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed the dilation of bile and pancreatic ducts. Robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed on the patient by using the da Vinci Model S Surgical System. On postoperative days 5 and 6, the patient vomited blood, and bloody fluid was observed in the drainage. Emergent gastroscopic examination was performed and revealed a large amount of hematocele in the stomach. On postoperative day 6, emergency operation was undertaken, and the output jejunal loop was found to have intussuscepted in the stomach. This is the first case report of output jejunal loop intussusception in the stomach that consequently caused hemorrhage after robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic head cancer.
