An Unusual Presentation of Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: Coeliac Axis Occlusion and Acute Upper Gut Ischemia
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Celiac artery thrombosis with ischemia is a rare condition associated with risk factors for thrombosis or embolism. The manifestation is rare because of the large number of collaterals between the coeliac and superior mesenteric artery. Advanced pancreatic cancer may cause gradual occlusion with collaterals which needs special attention during pancreaticoduodenectomy. No case was reported with acute thrombosis and acute upper gut ischemia.
