The patency rate for the vena cava, hepatic veins and the portal confluence (n=45) was 100% and for the mesentercioportal vein (n=96) was 84%. Complete thrombosis was mainly observed after tubular reconstruction (2/15) and distal pancreatectomy (10/15).
Conclusion:The PP showed globally a high patency rate in HBP surgery, which was excellent after liver surgery.
