Management of vascular complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD): Reducing the numbers of failure to rescue.

B Background: b No consensus on the treatment of PPH exists and failure to rescue rates still remain high, ranging from 14-47% after grade B or C PPH according to ISGPS classification. B Results: b PPH occurred in 9,0% (88/974), of which 15.9% developed early PPH (14/88) and 84.1% delayed PPH (74/88). Primary endovascular treatment was successful in 57.9% (22/38), endoscopic treatment in 83.3% (5/6) and surgical treatment in 57.1% (4/7), no significant difference in success rates between the primary treatment modalities for delayed PPH was obtained (p= 0.568).
