Bypass grafting between the supraceliac aorta and the common hepatic artery during pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Patients with celiac artery stenosis often remain asymptomatic due to formation of extensive collateral pathways. Hepatic or anastomotic ischemia may occur when the gastroduodenal artery and these collaterals are ligated during pancreaticoduodenectomy. Here, we present a patient with severe atherosclerotic disease of the celiac axis who successfully underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with aorto-hepatic bypass.
