Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair after pancreaticoduodenectomy

Abstract: We present two cases of patients with coincidental pancreatic disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Initial pancreaticoduodenectomy was followed by staged abdominal aortic aneurysm repair via a retroperitoneal approach in both cases. We recommend the retroperitoneal approach over the transperitoneal approach as an easier and safer method of aortic aneurysmorrhaphy after the Whipple procedure.

“…Second, mutual interference between the two conditions is undeniable because of the proximity of the pancreas to the aorta. Deiparine advocated division of the retroperitoneal dissection procedure: right-sided dissection for PD and left-sided dissection for abdominal aortic bypass 10 . The last is the severity of the postoperative complications after pancreatectomy.…”

“…Therefore, reports of treatment of concomitant AAA and pancreas tumors are very rare. 10,11 There are three main reasons for this rarity. The first is that pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis.…”

“…Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, which accounts for the majority in pancreatic neoplasms, has a very poor prognosis, and pancreatic cystic or endocrine tumors (which have better survival rates) are relatively uncommon. The authors found only 4 cases of one-stage [7][8][9] and 6 cases of staged [9,11,[13][14][15] operations for AAA and pancreatic neoplasms in the English literature published from 1967 to 2010. To the best of our knowledge, this is the 5th reported case of a one-stage operation for concomitant AAA and pancreatic neoplasms.…”
