An original technique of venous autoplasty after duodenopancreatectomy for tumors involving the infrarenal inferior vena cava
Résumé
Tumor involvement of the inferior vena cava (IVC) by hepatobiliary, pancreatic or duodenal malignancies can compromise adequate resection. However, radical resection with negative histological margins remains the only chance of cure. Various techniques are used for venous reconstruction, using a prosthetic graft interposition in most of the cases. However, in case of associated digestive resections, such as pancreaticoduodenectomy, postoperative complications can be responsible for prosthesis infection and related vascular complications. In this setting, the use of biological material for venous reconstruction appears to be preferable. We present an original, easy and useful technique of a venous autoplasty after pancreatico-duodenectomy for tumors involving the anterior wall of the infrarenal IVC, using a patch from the posterior wall of the IVC.
