Abstract
To identify any association between celiac artery compromise found on computed tomographic angiography and the incidence of postoperative and perioperative complications. The computed tomographic angiograms of 36 patients who underwent the Whipple procedure for pancreatic adenocarcinoma were examined retrospectively. The association between the results and surgical course was investigated. Twelve patients (33%) had significant postoperative complications. Ten (28%) had evidence of celiac artery stenosis. Stenosis ranged from 20% to 60%. There was no evidence of a difference between the 2 groups. There seems to be no evidence of an increased risk of postoperative or perioperative complication in patients undergoing the Whipple procedure, with a celiac stenosis of up to 60%.
