“…The role of pancreatic enzymes, infection and inflammatory mediators to the process that predisposes to bleeding remains undetermined. It has not been the routine practice at our institution to protect vessels, however, in the absence of routinely identifiable risk factors for a severe haemorrhage, the use of vascularized pedicle flaps to cover exposed vessels may be considered …”

“…Various techniques have been suggested to reduce the chance of pseudoaneurysm formation, including the ‘wrapping’ technique, in which the exposed retroperitoneal vessels are covered with omentum or the falciform ligament. Others have suggested leaving 1 cm at the origin of the GDA stump to minimize the likelihood of lytic pancreatic juices coming into contact with the vessel.…”
