Artery encasement on preoperative CT scan does not preclude radical surgery: a case report utilizing sub-adventitial divestment for artery-involving pancreatic cancer
Abstract:Pancreatic cancer was most lethal malignancy and artery involvement was the most common clinic scenario that hindered radical resection for non-metastatic lesions. While artery resection and reconstruction combined pancreatectomies were significantly complicated, artery-sparing techniques were of interest. A patient was reported with pancreatic cancer encasing major abdominal arteries. Sub-adventitial divestment technique was performed to achieve curative-intend resection, indicating that artery encasement did… Show more
