Pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy after coronary artery bypass grafting using right gastroepiploic artery.
Coronary artery bypass grafting using right gastroepiploic artery and pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy are both well known and commonly performed procedures independently. However, pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy after coronary artery bypass grafting using right gastroepiploic artery has not been reported in the literature. We report the first case with operative demonstration of pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy in a patient who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting using an in situ right gastroepiploic artery graft.
