Abstract
- Objective: To evaluate the long-term outcomes of covered stent placement in patients with gastroduodenal artery (GDA) stump hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and to identify risk factors of stent failure. Methods and materials: Covered stent was placed in total of 21 patients for GDA stump hemorrhage after PD from September 2012 to March 2021. Technical and clinical success, complications, and stent patency were retrospectively evaluated. Nine relevant variables were analyzed to determine risk factors for stent failure. Results: In 20 of 21 patients (95.2%), the GDA stump was completely excluded with covered stent placement. Immediate hemostasis was achieved in the 20 patients and rebleeding from jejunal artery occurred in one patient which was successfully embolized one day after the stent placement. There was no procedure-related complication or early mortality (Conclusions: Covered stent placement is an effective and safe management of postoperative GDA stump hemorrhage. Stent failure occurred frequently (50%) but did not cause liver ischemia. Stent failure was associated with recurrence of primary malignancy. Advances in knowledge 1. Covered stent placement is an effective and safe management of postoperative GDA stump hemorrhage. 2. Stent failure occurred frequently (50%) but did not cause liver ischemia. 3. Stent failure was associated with recurrence of primary malignancy.
