Resection-Reconstruction of Aberrant Right Hepatic Artery During Whipple Procedure (Pancreaticoduodenectomy).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aberrant hepatic arterial anatomy poses a challenge for the surgeon during Whipple procedure. Intraoperative injury to the aberrant vasculature results in hemorrhagic or ischemic complications involving the liver and biliary tree. We report a case of replaced right hepatic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery in a patient with periampullary carcinoma of the pancreas, undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. The aberrant artery was found to be coursing through the pancreatic parenchyma. This is a rare vascular anomaly. Resection of the arterial segment and end-to-end anastomosis was fashioned. Intrapancreatic course of the replaced right hepatic artery is a rare anomaly and is best managed by preoperative identification on radiology and meticulous intra-operative dissection and preservation. However, for an intrapancreatic course, resection and reconstruction may occasionally be required.

A 60-year-old man undergoing a Whipple procedure to treat a pancreatic cancer was found to have tumor adherence to the portal vein. An en block pancreaticoduodenectomy with segmental portal vein resection (PVR) was performed. A primary portal vein anastomosis was initially attempted but failed. Hemodynamic deterioration led the authors to perform a temporary prosthetic portal vein interposition...

The pancreaticoduodenectomy, commonly referred to as the Whipple resection, is the en bloc surgical resection of the pancreas head and uncinate process, duodenum, gallbladder, common bile duct, and common hepatic duct just proximal to the cystic duct takeoff with (conventional) or without (pylorus-sparing) the gastric antrum. Although generally an oncologic procedure, the Whipple resection can ...
