Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hemorrhage from the stump of the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) is a significant postoperative risk with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Studies have shown that wrapping the GDA stump using the omentum or the falciform ligament can help prevent bleeding. We aimed to determine whether wrapping the GDA stump with the ligamentum teres hepatis (LTH) would reduce postoperative PD hemorrhage. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data for 148 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD) at our hospital from November 2015 to September 2021. We compared perioperative data from 63 LPD patients without wrapping of the GDA (unwrapped group) and 85 whose GDA stumps were wrapped (wrapped group). RESULTS There were no significant differences in the groups' baseline characteristics. The postoperative GDA stump bleeding incidence was significantly lower in the wrapped group than that in the unwrapped group (7.9% vs. 0, respectively). There was also no significant difference in the incidence of other complications (intra-abdominal infection, postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), biliary fistula, and gastrointestinal bleeding). CONCLUSION Using the LTH to wrap the GDA stump during LPD can reduce bleeding from the GDA stump but not the incidence of other complications.

The role of repeated imaging in detecting complications in the post-operative period following pancreaticoduodenectomy: Serial CT imaging post-pancreaticoduodenectomy. ANZ J Surg 2023; 93:1314-1321. [PMID: 36782399 DOI: 10.1111/ans.18327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023]
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
BACKGROUND To predict postoperative death even after successful hemostasis in patients with post pancreatoduodenectomy pancreatic fistula-associated hemorrhage (PPFH). METHODS Patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) between September 2011 and August 2020 were identified. PPFH patients were enrolled in this retrospective case-control study and divided into the Cured and Death groups. Perioperative variables were analyzed, especially the characteristics of PPFH and CT image findings. RESULTS Among the 2732 consecutive pancreaticoduodenectomies, 63 patients (2.3%) were confirmed to have PPFH. The mortality rate of patients following PPFH was 50.8% (32/63). After univariate and multivariate analysis, organ failure 24 h before initial hemorrhage (P = 0.039, OR = 11.53, 95% CI: 1.14-117.00), CT imaging findings of the operative area bubble sign (P = 0.021, OR = 5.15, 95% CI: 1.28-20.79) and PJ dehiscence (P = 0.016, OR = 8.95, 95% CI: 1.50-53.38) were remained as significant predictive factors of postoperative death for PPFH patients. CONCLUSIONS Patients following PPFH showed a high mortality rate. Organ failure and CT evidence of pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) dehiscence and operative area bubble signs before initial hemorrhage may allow early prediction of postoperative death in PPFH patients.

Abstract
Bleeding is a fatal complication after pancreatectomy. Although coil embolization is a widely accepted treatment option, ischemia of the remaining organs should be prevented. This study reports the successful treatment of intra-abdominal hemorrhage following distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) using balloon-assisted coil embolization (BACE). A 59-year-old man was diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The tumor involves the common hepatic artery, splenic artery, and celiac artery. After four cycles of treatment with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, the soft-density masses, surrounding the artery, shrunk. DP-CAR and R0 resections were performed. A minor postoperative pancreatic fistula occurred. Six months postoperatively, the computed tomography showed delayed asymptomatic bleeding from an anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (ASPDA) pseudoaneurysm located near the gastroduodenal artery confluence. BACE was performed by placing a microballoon catheter in the region of confluence of the ASPDA and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (PSPDA) to prevent coil migration. After inserting the microballoon catheter, coil embolization was performed in the ASPDA. Hepatic blood flow was maintained from the PSPDA. BACE is a useful technique to preserve blood flow to the remnant organs when performing coil embolization for bleeding following a distal pancreatectomy, especially following a DP-CAR.

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.

Incidence and Contemporary Management of Delayed Bleeding Following Pancreaticoduodenectomy. World J Surg 2022; 46:1161-1171.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed bleeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a life-threatening complication. However, the optimal management remains unclear. We summarize our experience of the management of delayed bleeding after PD and define the outcomes associated with different types of management. METHODS All patients who underwent a PD between January 1987 and June 2020 at Johns Hopkins University were retrospectively reviewed. Delayed bleeding was defined as bleeding on or after postoperative day 5 following PD. Incidence, outcomes, and trends were reported. RESULTS Among the 6201 patients that underwent PD, delayed bleeding occurred in 130 (2.1%) at a median of 12 days (IQR: 9, 24) postoperation. The pattern of bleeding was classified as intraluminal (51.5%), extraluminal (40.8%), and mixed (7.7%). A clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula and an intraabdominal abscess preceded the delayed bleeding in 43.1% and 31.5% of cases, respectively. Arterial pseudoaneurysm or bleeding from peripancreatic vessels was the most common reason (54.6%) with the gastroduodenal artery being the most common source (18.5%). Endoscopy, angiography, and reoperation were performed as a first-line approach in 35.4%, 52.3%, and 6.2% of patients, respectively. The overall mortality was 16.2% and decreased over the study period (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Delayed bleeding following PD remains a life-threatening complication. The most common location of delayed bleeding is from the gastroduodenal artery. Angiography with embolization should be the initial approach for urgent bleeding with surgical re-exploration reserved for unstable patients or failed control of bleeding after interventional angiography or endoscopy.

Abstract
AIM Pancreas compression during minimally invasive gastrectomy causes blunt injury to the pancreas and leads to postoperative complications. However, the extent of practical compression associated with the incidence of postoperative complications remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of pancreas compression, particularly the duration of compression, on short-term outcomes in minimally invasive gastrectomy for gastric cancer. METHODS This study included 178 patients who underwent laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy at the Shizuoka Cancer Center in 2018. The total time of pancreas compression during gastrectomy was measured using video-reviews, and the correlation between the time and surgical outcomes was evaluated. RESULTS A duration of 3 min was selected as the cutoff value of pancreas compression time to predict high drain amylase concentration on postoperative day 1 (≥1000 U/L). The incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (1.5% vs 12.4%, P = .011) and all postoperative complications (12.3% vs 30.1%, P = .010) were significantly higher in the longer-compression group than in the shorter-compression group. The multivariable analysis identified longer compression as the only independent risk factor for postoperative complications. CONCLUSION More than a few minutes of pancreas compression during minimally invasive gastrectomy was associated with a higher incidence of postoperative complications.

Fatal arterial hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy: How do we simultaneously accomplish complete hemostasis and hepatic arterial flow? World J Hepatol 2021; 13:483-503. [PMID: 33959229 PMCID: PMC8080554 DOI: 10.4254/wjh.v13.i4.483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 03/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although arterial hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is not frequent, it is fatal. Arterial hemorrhage is caused by pseudoaneurysm rupture, and the gastroduodenal artery stump and hepatic artery (HA) are frequent culprit vessels. Diagnostic procedures and imaging modalities are associated with certain difficulties. Simultaneous accomplishment of complete hemostasis and HA flow preservation is difficult after PD. Although complete hemostasis may be obtained by endovascular treatment (EVT) or surgery, liver infarction caused by hepatic ischemia and/or liver abscesses caused by biliary ischemia may occur. We herein discuss therapeutic options for fatal arterial hemorrhage after PD.
AIM To present our data here along with a discussion of therapeutic strategies for fatal arterial hemorrhage after PD.
METHODS We retrospectively investigated 16 patients who developed arterial hemorrhage after PD. The patients’ clinical characteristics, diagnostic procedures, actual treatments [transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE), stent-graft placement, or surgery], clinical courses, and outcomes were evaluated.
RESULTS The frequency of arterial hemorrhage after PD was 5.5%. Pancreatic leakage was observed in 12 patients. The onset of hemorrhage occurred at a median of 18 d after PD. Sentinel bleeding was observed in five patients. The initial EVT procedures were stent-graft placement in seven patients, TAE in six patients, and combined therapy in two patients. The rate of technical success of the initial EVT was 75.0%, and additional EVTs were performed in four patients. Surgical approaches including arterioportal shunting were performed in eight patients. Liver infarction was observed in two patients after TAE. Two patients showed a poor outcome even after successful EVT. These four patients with poor clinical courses and outcomes had a poor clinical condition before EVT. Fourteen patients were successfully treated.
CONCLUSION Transcatheter placement of a covered stent may be useful for simultaneous accomplishment of complete hemostasis and HA flow preservation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The place of surgery and interventional radiology in the management of delayed (> 24 h) hemorrhage (DHR) complicating supramesocolic surgery is still to define. The aim of the study was to evaluate outcomes of DHR using a combined multimodal strategy. METHODS Between 2005 and 2019, 57 patients (median age 64 years) experienced 86 DHR episodes after pancreatic resection (n = 26), liver transplantation (n = 24) and other (n = 7). Hemodynamically stable patients underwent computed tomography evaluation followed by interventional radiology (IR) treatment (stenting and/or embolization) or surveillance. Hemodynamically unstable patients were offered upfront surgery. Failure to identify the leak was managed by either prophylactic stenting/embolization of the most likely bleeding source or surveillance. RESULTS Mortality was 32% (n = 18). Bleeding recurrence occurred in 22 patients (39%) and was multiple in 7 (12%). Sentinel bleeding was recorded in 77 (81%) of episodes, and the bleeding source could not be identified in 26 (30%). Failure to control bleeding was recorded in 9 (28%) of 32 episodes managed by surgery and 4 (11%) of 41 episodes managed by IR (p = 0.14). Recurrence was similar after stenting and embolization (n = 4/18, 22% vs n = 8/26, 31%, p = 0.75) of the bleeding source. Recurrence was significantly lower after prophylactic IR management than surveillance of an unidentified bleeding source (n = 2/10, 20% vs. n = 11/16, 69%, p = 0.042). CONCLUSION IR management should be favored for the treatment of DHR in hemodynamically stable patients. Prophylactic IR management of an unidentified leak decreases recurrence risks.

Abstract
Surgical treatment of pancreatic diseases is always associated with a large number of complications. Postoperative hemorrhage is a specific complication of pancreatic surgery requiring a clear classification and surgical strategy. According to literature data, postoperative hemorrhage occurs in 3-30% of cases. Incidence of hemorrhages depends on intraoperative, anamnestic, histological and postoperative factors. Early postoperative hemorrhage (within 24 hours after surgery) is usually a consequence of technical errors in intraoperative hemostasis, perioperative coagulation disorders. The mechanism of delayed bleeding is more complex and often associated with various arrosive factors: pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, abscess. Currently, there is no a single treatment algorithm for patients with postpancreatectomy hemorrhage. According to various researchers, contrast-enhanced CT is preferred for diagnosis. In recent years, the role of endovascular hemostasis has significantly increased. This problem requires further study and development of a single treatment and diagnostic algorithm that will reduce mortality in these patients.

Clin Radiol 2020; 76:314.e9-314.e15. [PMID: 33334554 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2020.11.111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transarterial embolisation (TAE) of dorsal pancreatic artery (DPA) haemorrhage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen consecutive patients (M:F = 16:3, mean age 59.6 years) who underwent TAE of DPA in three tertiary medical centres between January 2001 to January 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. Angiographic features and the technical and clinical outcomes of TAE were analysed. RESULTS The clinical presentations were a bloody drain from the Jackson-Pratt drainage tube (n=8), melaena (n=7), abdominal pain (n=4), and haematochezia (n=3). Angiographic findings included pseudoaneurysm (n=14), contrast media extravasation (n=4), or abrupt cut-off of the arterial branch (n=1). The NBCA (N-butyl-cyanoacrylate; n=4), microcoils (n=4), and a combination of these agents (n=7) were used as embolic agents. The most common origin of the DPA in the present study cohort was the splenic artery (n=7), followed by the coeliac trunk (n=4), common hepatic artery (n=4), and superior mesenteric artery (n=4). Technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 84.2% (16/19), respectively. Of the three clinically unsuccessful cases, two patients were revealed to have newly developed bleeding from another artery. The other patient expired 1 day after the TAE procedure due to a progression of hepatic failure. In one patient, an asymptomatic non-target embolisation occurred in the right posterior tibial artery as a procedure-related complication. No major complications were observed. CONCLUSION TAE is safe and effective for the management of bleeding from the DPA. It is important to be aware of the DPA as a potential bleeding source, including the relevant clinical characteristics.

The Effect of Day of the Week on Morbidity and Mortality From Colorectal and Pancreatic Surgery. DEUTSCHES ARZTEBLATT INTERNATIONAL 2020; 117:521-527. [PMID: 33087240 DOI: 10.3238/arztebl.2020.0521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2019] [Revised: 10/31/2019] [Accepted: 05/07/2010] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of studies have revealed higher postoperative mortality after operations that were performed toward the end of the week. It is not yet known whether a day-of-the-week effect exists after visceral surgical procedures for cancer in Germany. METHODS Data on resections of carcinomas of the colon, rectum (2010-2017), and head of the pancreas (2014-2017) (n = 19 703) that had been prospectively acquired by the Study, Documentation, and Quality Center of the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery were analyzed in relation to the day of the week on which the operation was performed. The primary endpoint was postoperative 30-day mortality; the secondary endpoints were complications, length of hospital stay, and MTL30 (a combined outcome criterion that is positive if the patient has died, is still in the hospital, or has been transferred to another acute care hospital 30 days after the index procedure). RESULTS Resections of colon carcinomas that were performed on Mondays were associated with more advanced tumor stages (T4: 18.4% vs. 15.7%, p <0.001), higher 30-day mortality (3.5% vs. 2.3%, p = 0.004), and a more frequently positive MTL30 (10.5% vs. 8.5%, p = 0.004). Among patients who underwent pancreatic head resections, those whose procedures were on Tuesday had higher mortality (6.2% vs. 3.8%; p = 0.021). Among those who underwent surgery for rectal carcinoma, the day of the week on which the procedure was performed had no effect on postoperative morality. Multivariate analysis revealed that the independent risk factors for postoperative mortality were colonic resection on a Monday (odds ratio [OR]: 1.45; 95% confidence interval [1.11; 1.92], p = 0.008) and pancreatic head resection on a Tuesday (OR: 1.88 [1.18; 2.91], p = 0.006). CONCLUSION Elective surgery for carcinoma of the colon or pancreatic head is associated with slightly higher mortality if per - formed toward the beginning of the week. On the other hand, the day of the week has no effect on the outcome of surgery for rectal carcinoma.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the clinical effectiveness and safety of endovascular embolization for the treatment of pseudoaneurysm secondary to previous abdominal and pelvic surgery or radiological percutaneous abdominal procedure. A retrospective review was performed on all patients with abdominal and pelvic pseudoaneurysm confirmed by CT angiography or digital subtraction angiography and treated with endovascular embolization. Different techniques of embolization with coils were applied and the outcomes, including clinical effectiveness and safety, were assessed. A total of 31 patients with a total of 32 pseudoaneurysms were included in the present study. Of these pseudoaneurysms, 23 were from the main trunks and branches of the gastroduodenal artery, 5 were from the splenic artery, 2 were from the common hepatic artery, 1 was from the right hepatic artery and 1 was from the right internal iliac artery. There were no serious complications observed and there was no occurrence of re-bleeding following embolization. The embolization of the pseudoaneurysms was successful in all patients. In conclusion, endovascular embolization is a safe and effective method for the treatment of secondary iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm in the abdomen and pelvis.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of angiography and coil embolization for pseudoaneurysm post-pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). A total of 17 patients with gastrointestinal or abdominal hemorrhage after PD were included in the present study. Angiography was performed on the celiac artery, common hepatic artery, splenic artery, gastroduodenal artery and superior mesenteric artery to determine the size of the pseudoaneurysm, the parent artery and its collateral branches. A variety of embolization techniques have been applied to embolize pseudoaneurysm, including the sac packing technique, proximal embolization, exclusion technique and sandwich technique. Different techniques with coils were used for embolization and the clinical effects of embolization were analyzed. A total of 18 pseudoaneurysms were identified in 17 patients. In 2 patients, severe technical complications occurred, including migration of the coil and rupture of pseudoaneurysm, and one of them died, which may have been associated with this complication. No serious clinical complications were observed in the other patients. A total of 7 patients had mild clinical complications, including mild abdominal and dorsal pain, which were alleviated after symptomatic management. A total of 15 patients with definite pseudoaneurysm were successfully embolized without re-bleeding and complications. The clinical success rate was 94.1% (16/17). In conclusion, a variety of embolization techniques may be applied for the treatment of pseudoaneurysm after PD, which have high technical and clinical success rates and small trauma. It is recommended in emergency situations, but care should be taken to avoid serious technical complications.

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
BACKGROUND The endovascular treatment is the first-line therapy for late massive arterial haemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This study aimed to evaluate the clinical features and outcomes of patients who experienced pseudoaneurysm (PA) bleeding after PD and treated with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) and stent-graft placement (SGP). METHODS A total of 37 patients (TAE = 16, stent graft = 16, both = 5) had an endovascular treatment due to hepatic artery PA bleeding after PD at our institution from January 2008 to December 2018. RESULTS There were 35 men and two women with a mean age of 62 years (range 45-82 years). The latency of bleeding ranged from postoperative days 3 to 46 (median day 21). The most common site of bleeding was gastroduodenal artery stump (n = 22). In TAE group (n = 16), the technical success rate was 100% and the clinical success rate was 87.5%. In SGP group (n = 16), the technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 93.8%. Five patients underwent SGP and TAE simultaneously; TAE was performed to prevent endoleak. A total of three patients experienced hepatic ischaemia (TAE = 2, SGP = 1). However, there was no statistically significant difference of hepatic ischaemia occurrence between the two groups P = 0.55). CONCLUSIONS In patients with suspected PA, urgent angiography should be considered immediately for diagnosis and treatment. The SGP can be performed first if it is technically feasible. However, TAE is also a safe and effective treatment in patients with intact portal flow, as well as those with preserved collateral pathways after hepatobiliary surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the outcomes of emergency endovascular treatments for delayed bleeding after pancreaticobiliary surgery. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 21 patients (M:F = 13:8, median age = 64 years) undergoing 23 endovascular treatments, performed from 2010 to 2017 in a single center. Data collected were patient characteristics; surgery; pathology; incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistulas (POPF); bleeding signs on CT and angiography; damaged artery; endovascular tools used; technical and clinical success; intervals between surgery, endovascular treatment, and discharge; survival rates. RESULTS Sixteen patients had pancreatoduodenectomy, three hepaticojejunostomy, two distal pancreatectomy. Indications for surgery were mainly biliary (33%), pancreatic (19%), or duodenal (10%) malignancies. Seventeen patients had "grade C" POPF, three suffered a biliary leak, one had no POPF. Active bleeding was present in 17/23 CTs and in 22/23 angiographies, mostly from hepatic (43%), gastroduodenal (22%), and splenic (13%) arteries. The endovascular treatments were performed with coils (26%), glue (22%), stent-graft (22%), and their combinations (30%). Sixteen patients had a single endovascular treatment, one underwent a second embolization, three had subsequent surgery, one had repeat embolization followed by surgery. Relaparotomy rate was 19%. Median hospital stay was 37 days (range 12-75); median intervals among pancreaticobiliary surgery, endovascular treatment, and discharge were 21 (2-36) and 12 (8-47) days, respectively. We observed 4/21 intrahospital deaths (median: 31 days from endovascular treatment, 4-53); 1-year survival rate of discharged patients was 71%. CONCLUSIONS Endovascular treatment using embolization and/or stent-graft placement is a useful first-line intervention to halt postoperative hemorrhage after pancreaticobiliary surgery and decreases the need for urgent relaparotomy.

Abstract
Objective Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage is a life-threatening complication. Hemorrhage occurring >24 hours after the index operation is defined as late hemorrhage. This study was performed to analyze the therapeutic management and prognostic factors of late hemorrhage after pancreatectomy. Methods We identified 87 patients with late hemorrhage among 2031 patients who underwent pancreatic surgery from January 2013 to December 2017. The patients’ demographic characteristics, perioperative treatment, hemorrhage details, and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. Results Of the 87 patients, 53 were men. Bleeding occurred at a mean of 8.9 ± 6.0 days postoperatively. Extraluminal and intraluminal hemorrhage occurred in 58 and 29 patients, respectively. The primary intervention was successful in 66 patients, and 16 patients required a secondary intervention. The primary and total recovery rates were 72.4% and 89.7%, respectively. Of the 87 patients, 9 died. Male sex, hemorrhage on a later postoperative day, a significantly decreased hemoglobin level, and pancreatic fistula showed statistical significance as possible risk factors for mortality. Conclusions Male sex, hemorrhage on a later postoperative day, a significantly decreased hemoglobin level, and pancreatic fistula are possible risk factors for mortality in patients with late hemorrhage after pancreatectomy. Hemorrhage is a dynamic process, and a secondary intervention may be necessary.

Multidisciplinary treatment of left hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm after hepatobiliary resection for gallbladder cancer: a case report. Surg Case Rep 2019; 5:192. [PMID: 31820140 PMCID: PMC6901650 DOI: 10.1186/s40792-019-0757-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2019] [Accepted: 11/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND When a postoperative hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm develops after massive hepatectomy, both an intervention for the pseudoaneurysm and patency of hepatic artery should be considered because occlusion of the residual hepatic artery results in critical liver failure. However, the treatment strategy for a pseudoaneurysm of the hepatic artery after hepatobiliary resection is not well established. CASE PRESENTATION A 65-year-old woman underwent right hepatectomy, extrahepatic duct resection, and portal vein resection, for gallbladder cancer. Although the patient had an uneventful postoperative course, computed tomography on postoperative day 6 showed a 6-mm pseudoaneurysm of the hepatic artery. Angiography revealed the pseudoaneurysm located on the bifurcation of the left hepatic artery to the segment 2 artery plus the segment 3 artery and 4 artery. Stent placement in the left hepatic artery was not feasible because the artery was too narrow, and coiling of the pseudoaneurysm was associated with a risk of occluding the left hepatic artery and inducing critical liver failure. Therefore, portal vein arterialization constructed by anastomosing the ileocecal artery and vein was performed prior to embolization of the pseudoaneurysm to maintain the oxygen level of the remnant liver, even if the left hepatic artery was accidentally occluded. The pseudoaneurysm was selectively embolized without occlusion of the left hepatic artery, and the postoperative laboratory data were within normal limits. Although uncontrollable ascites due to portal hypertension occurred, embolization of the ileocolic shunt rapidly resolved it. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 45. CONCLUSION Portal vein arterialization prior to embolization of the aneurysm may be a feasible therapeutic strategy for a pseudoaneurysm that develops after hepatectomy for hepatobiliary malignancy to guarantee arterial inflow to the remnant liver. Early embolization of arterioportal shunting after confirmation of arterial inflow to the liver should be performed to prevent morbidity induced by portal hypertension.

Abstract
Surgical intervention in the pancreas region is complex and carries the risk of complications, also of vascular nature. Bleeding after pancreatic surgery is rare but characterized by high mortality. This review reports epidemiology, classification, diagnosis and treatment strategies of hemorrhage occurring after pancreatic surgery, focusing on the techniques, roles and outcomes of interventional radiology (IR) in this setting. We then describe the roles and techniques of IR in the treatment of other less common types of vascular complications after pancreatic surgery, such as portal vein (PV) stenosis, portal hypertension and bleeding of varices.

Abstract
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains the major cause of morbidity after pancreatic resection, affecting up to 41% of cases. With the recent development of a consensus definition of POPF, there has been a large number of reports examining various risk factors, prediction models, and mitigation strategies for this costly complication. Despite these strategies, the rates of POPF have not significantly diminished. Here, we review the literature and evidence regarding both traditional and emerging concepts in POPF prediction, prevention, and management. In particular, we review the evidence for the association between postoperative pancreatitis and POPF, and present a novel proposed mechanism for the development of POPF.

Abstract
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and the effectiveness of endovascular treatment for a post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage (PPH). Results During the DSA examination, positive results were found in 29 patients, yielding a positive rate of 69.0%. The manifestations of the DSA examination included contrast medium extravasation, pseudoaneurysm, and artery walls coarse. All 29 patients with positive results underwent endovascular treatment, including transartery embolization (TAE) in 28 patients and covered stents placement in one patient. The technical success and clinical success rates were 100% and 72.4%, respectively. Re-bleeding occurred in 8 of the 29 patients after the first treatment (27.6%). The mortality of PPH was 17.2% (5 of 29). Two of the five PPH patients died following severe infections, and three died from multiple organ failure. Materials and Methods A DSA examination was conducted using clinical and imaging data of 42 patients, and endovascular treatment for delayed PPH was retrospectively analyzed. Conclusions DSA examination is a minimally invasive and rapid method for the diagnosis of delayed PPH. For patients with positive DSA results, endovascular treatment can be performed rapidly, safely, and effectively. Therefore, the DSA examination and endovascular treatment could be considered a preferred treatment approach for delayed PPH.

Hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy: does timing matter? HPB (Oxford) 2016; 18:861-869.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy is a potentially fatal complication. We retrospectively reviewed state-wide data to evaluate incidence, type of hemorrhage, treatment modalities, and outcomes. METHODS Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's Florida State Inpatient Database was queried 2007-2011 for patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Characteristics and outcomes were compared by χ2. Multivariate logistic regression model was generated for risk of hemorrhage during index visit. RESULTS Of 2548 patients, 217 (8.5%) developed post-operative hemorrhage during their index visit with 139 (64.0%) requiring angiographic, endoscopic, or operative intervention. Overall mortality during index visit was 5.7% (146) - significantly higher in those patients who had post-operative hemorrhage (24.9%) vs not (4.0%) (p < 0.0001). Mortality was significantly higher when post-operative hemorrhage occurred during the second (POD 8-14) vs first (POD 0-7) week at 15/28 vs 16/74, respectively (p = 0.007). On multivariate analysis, male sex (OR 1.56, p = 0.003), vascular resection (OR 1.88, p = 0.017), very low hospital volume (≤7 PD/year; OR 1.62, p = 0.016), and post-operative intra-abdominal/wound infection (OR 2.31, p < 0.0001) were independent predictors for risk of hemorrhage during index visit. CONCLUSIONS Hemorrhage following pancreaticoduodenectomy remains common, resulting in significantly increased mortality. Hemorrhage during the second post-operative week carries approximately double the mortality of early bleeding, suggesting different etiologies requiring differing treatment approaches.

Abstract
PURPOSE Preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is a novel, emerging treatment strategy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but it remains unclear whether post-surgery adjuvant chemotherapy is feasible following preoperative CRT. This retrospective study evaluates the feasibility of adjuvant therapy after preoperative CRT. METHODS The subjects of this study were 99 consecutive patients who underwent pancreatectomy for PDAC between January, 2007 and February, 2013 in our hospital. Sixty patients received preoperative CRT: as gemcitabine (GEM) and 40 Gy radiation in 28 (G-CRT group), and as GEM, S-1, and 50.4 Gy radiation in 32 (GS-CRT group). We also evaluated 39 patients who underwent surgery alone (SA group). We investigated adjuvant chemotherapy induction and completion rates and the frequency of adverse events rated ≥grade 3, based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 4.0) in all three groups. RESULTS In the G-CRT, GS-CRT, and SA groups, the induction rates were 78 % (22/28), 78 % (25/32), and 72 % (28/39), respectively; completion rates were 86 % (19/22), 88 % (22/25), and 82 % (23/28), respectively; and adverse event frequencies were 36 % (8/22), 28 % (7/25), and 43 % (12/28), respectively. No significant difference was found among the three groups. CONCLUSION Preoperative CRT was demonstrated to be safe and did not compromise the feasibility of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate risk factors predicting death and complications of primary therapy for hepatic and gastric duodenal artery pseudoaneurysms following endovascular treatment (EVT) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between April 2004 and December 2014, 28 patients (mean age, 64.7 y) with post-PD hemorrhage underwent EVT. Prevention of hepatic artery blockage via stents or side-holed catheter grafts was stratified in cases without a replaced hepatic artery. Mortality and major hepatic complications following EVT were evaluated according to age; sex; surgery-EVT interval; presence of portal vein stenosis, shock, and coagulopathy at EVT onset; and post-EVT angiographic findings. RESULTS All hemorrhages were successfully treated with microcoils (n = 17; 61%), covered stents (n = 1; 3%), bare stent-assisted coil embolization (n = 5; 18%), or catheter grafts with coil embolization (n = 5; 18%). Hepatic arterial flow was observed after EVT in 18 patients (64%). Mortality and major hepatic complication rates were 28.6% and 32.1%, respectively. Hemorrhagic shock and coagulopathy at EVT onset (n = 8 each; odds ratio [OR], 27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.1-235.7; P < .01) were significantly associated with mortality. Coagulopathy at EVT onset (adjusted OR [aOR], 48.1; 95% CI, 3.2-2,931), portal vein stenosis (n = 16; aOR, 16.9; 95% CI, 1.3-721.9), and no visualization of hepatopetal flow through the hepatic arteries (n = 10; aOR, 29.5; 95% CI, 2.1-1,477) were significantly associated with major hepatic complications. CONCLUSIONS EVT should be performed as soon as possible before the development of shock or coagulopathy. Hepatic arterial flow visualization decreases major hepatic complications.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Abdominal Arterial Bleeding After Radical Gastrectomy: a Retrospective Analysis of 1875 Consecutive Resections for Gastric Cancer. J Gastrointest Surg 2016; 20:510-20.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Massive abdominal arterial bleeding is an uncommon yet life-threatening complication of radical gastrectomy. The exact incidence and standardized management of this lethal morbidity are not known. METHODS Between January 2003 and December 2013, data from 1875 patients undergoing radical gastrectomy with D2 or D2 plus lymphadenectomy were recorded in a prospectively designed database from a single institute. The clinical data and management of both early (within 24 h) and late (beyond 24 h) postoperative abdominal arterial hemorrhages were explored. For late bleeding patients, transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) and re-laparotomy were compared to determine the better initial treatment option. RESULTS The overall prevalence of postoperative abdominal arterial bleeding was 1.92 % (n = 36), and related mortality was 33.3 % (n = 12). Early and late postoperative bleedings were found in 6 and 30 patients, respectively. The onset of massive arterial bleeding occurred on average postoperative day 19. The common hepatic artery and its branches were the most common bleeding source (13/36; 36.1 %). All the early bleeding patients were treated with immediate re-laparotomy. For late bleeding, patients from the TAE group had a significantly lower mortality rate than that of the patients from the surgery group (7.69 vs. 56.25 %, respectively, P = 0.008) as well as a shorter procedure time for bleeding control (2.3 ± 1.1 vs. 4.8 ± 1.7 h, respectively, P < 0.001). Four rescue reoperations were performed for TAE failures; the salvage rate was 50 % (2/4). Ten patients developed massive re-bleeding after initial successful hemostasis by either TAE (5/13) or open surgery (5/16). Three out of the 10 re-bleeding patients died of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), while the other 7 recovered eventually by repeated TAE and/or surgery. CONCLUSION Abdominal arterial bleeding following radical gastrectomy tends to occur during the later phase after surgery, with further complications such as abdominal infection and fistula(s). For late bleeding, TAE can be considered as the first-line treatment when possible.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether the preoperative pancreatic apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) can be used to predict the development of postoperative pancreatic anastomotic failure (PAF). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively examined the cases of 79 patients who underwent pancreatic head resection between January 2010 and October 2013. The patients underwent 1.5-T MR imaging including diffusion-weighted imaging before surgery. The main pancreatic duct diameter (MPD), the pancreatic parenchymal thickness (PT), and the ADC of the pancreatic remnant parenchyma were measured. Two radiologists blinded to the patients' outcomes performed the measurements. The imaging parameters were compared between the patients who developed PAF and those who did not. The cut-off ADC for the development of PAF was calculated with a receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS The imaging parameters were highly correlated between the two observers. The MPD and PT did not differ significantly among the patients. The mean pancreatic ADCs were significantly higher in the patients with PAF than in those without PAF. An ADC higher than 1.50 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s (Az = 0.719, observer-1) or 1.35 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s (Az = 0.752, observer-2) was optimal for predicting the development of postoperative PAF. CONCLUSION Measuring the preoperative non-tumorous pancreatic ADC may be useful for the prediction of a postoperative PAF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival after pancreatic head adenocarcinoma surgery is determined by tumor characteristics, resection margins, and adjuvant chemotherapy. Few studies have analyzed the long-term impact of postoperative morbidity. The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of postoperative complications on long-term survival after pancreaticoduodenectomy for cancer. METHODS Of 294 consecutive pancreatectomies performed between January 2000 and July 2011, a total of 101 pancreatic head resections for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. Postoperative complications were classified on a five-grade validated scale and were correlated with long-term survival. Grade IIIb to IVb complications were defined as severe. RESULTS Postoperative mortality and morbidity were 5 and 57 %, respectively. Severe postoperative complications occurred in 16 patients (16 %). Median overall survival was 1.4 years. Significant prognostic factors of survival were the N-stage of the tumor (median survival 3.4 years for N0 vs. 1.3 years for N1, p = 0.018) and R status of the resection (median survival 1.6 years for R0 vs. 1.2 years for R1, p = 0.038). Median survival after severe postoperative complications was decreased from 1.9 to 1.2 years (p = 0.06). Median survival for N0 or N1 tumor or after R0 resection was not influenced by the occurrence and severity of complications, but patients with a R1 resection and severe complications showed a worsened median survival of 0.6 vs. 2.0 years without severe complications (p = 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative severe morbidity per se had no impact on long-term survival except in patients with R1 tumor resection. These results suggest that severe complications after R1 resection predict poor outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripancreatic pseudoaneurysms can arise in a number of different clinical settings but are associated mostly with pancreatitis and pancreatobiliary surgery. The aim of this study is to review the current literature and to propose a management classification system based on the pathophysiological processes and the exact anatomical site of peripancreatic pseudoaneurysms. METHODS A systematic review of the literature from 1995 to 2012 was performed. Articles on studies describing peripancreatic pseudoaneurysms in the setting of pancreatitis or major hepatic or pancreatic surgery with more than ten patients were included. Seventeen eligible studies were identified and reviewed. RESULTS The demographic characteristics of the patients in all studies were similar with a predominance of males and a mean age of 55 years. The overall mortality rate varied greatly among the studies, ranging from 0 to 60%. Embolisation was the first line of management in the majority of the studies, with surgery reserved for failed embolisation or for haemodynamically unstable cases. Embolisation of the hepatic artery or its branches was associated with high rates of morbidity (56%) and hepatic failure (19%). More recent studies show that stents are used increasingly for vessels that cannot be embolised safely. Late bleeding, a major cause of mortality and morbidity, is generally underreported. The proposed classification system is based on three factors: (1) the type of artery from which the pseudoaneurysm arises, (2) whether communication with the gastrointestinal tract is present, and (3) whether there is high concentration of pancreatic juice at the bleeding site. CONCLUSION The management of peripancreatic pseudoaneurysms usually comprises a combination of interventional radiology and surgery and this may be assisted by a logical classification system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The therapeutic options available as preoperative strategies for resectable pancreatic cancer have received worldwide attention. We have recently introduced neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) to achieve local control and possibly complete cure. In this study, we have retrospectively evaluated its impact on pathology and the perioperative clinical course in addition to its safety. METHODS Sixty-one patients who received full-dose gemcitabine (1000 mg/m(2)) preoperatively with concurrent radiation (50 or 54 Gy) were evaluated. Seventy-one patients who received no preoperative therapy served as controls. Perioperative outcomes, postoperative complications, immunonutritional status, and the performance of adjuvant chemotherapy were compared. RESULTS Fifty-nine patients (97 %) completed NACRT. Toxicity was acceptable and the regimen was feasible as outpatient treatment. The perioperative outcomes were closely comparable to control. The rate of pancreatic fistula was lower and hospital stay was shorter in the NACRT group. The rate of lymph node metastasis and stage was lower in the NACRT group. Furthermore, R0 resection could be achieved in 92 % of patients treated with NACRT. Nutritional status decreased after NACRT and further deteriorated during adjuvant chemotherapy. The initiation of postoperative chemotherapy was delayed in the NACRT group. CONCLUSIONS Our current protocol of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is feasible and substantially improves the pathology. However, it has some detrimental effects on postoperative nutritional status and performance of adjuvant chemotherapy. Furthermore, it should be noted that there is a possibility of arterial complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Pancreatic resection remains among the most formidable and complex of abdominal surgical operations. Nonetheless, recent observations have continued to provide incremental improvement in both our evidence for treatment regimens and the technology, resulting in better outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS Neoadjuvant regimens appear to have promise, at least in local control and perhaps in long-term survival. More extensive operations focusing on perineural invasion along with minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic techniques are attracting increasing attention. The effectiveness of major vascular resection remains controversial. Concentration of patients in centers of expertise has contributed to improved outcomes. SUMMARY Improved management of pancreatic resections for cancer with more extensive and less-invasive surgical techniques has increased the number of patients who are candidates for effective surgical treatment.
