Abstract
Background: Continued advancements in chemotherapeutic regimens for pancreatic cancer renders more patients who would have previously been deemed unresectable to become surgical candidates. It is increasingly more common to perform curative-intent pancreatic resections with concurrent vascular resections in the setting of an anticipated vascular defect amenable to reconstruction. There are many possible conduits for vascular reconstruction, including autologous, cadaveric, and prosthetic. A cited concern using prosthetic grafts for vascular reconstruction is infection in a contaminated field. We present infectious outcomes in two patients from our experience using prosthetic interposition grafts for vascular resection.
