Thrombosis of a Superior Mesenteric Vein Aneurysm: Transarterial Thrombolysis and Transhepatic Aspiration Thrombectomy
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2004Co-Authors: L. Hechelhammer, D.w. Crook, U. Widmer, S. Wildermuth, T. PfammatterAbstract:We report the case of a 31-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain due to acute thrombosis of a superior and inferior Mesenteric Vein aneurysm, which was treated by a combination of arterial thrombolysis and transhepatic thrombus aspiration. At the last follow-up CT, 21 months following this procedure, there was no evidence of rethrombosis, and the patient continues to do well under oral anticoagulation. The literature regarding these uncommon Mesenteric Vein aneurysms without portal Vein involvement, as well as their treatment options, is reviewed.

pancreatectomy combined with superior Mesenteric Vein portal Vein resection for pancreatic cancer a meta analysis
World Journal of Surgery, 2012Co-Authors: Yanming Zhou, Zhiming Zhang, Bin Li, Donghui XuAbstract:Background Pancreatectomy combined with superior Mesenteric Vein–portal Vein resection (VR) for pancreatic cancer remains a matter of debate. The present study is a meta-analysis of the available evidence.

does portal superior Mesenteric Vein invasion still indicate irresectability for pancreatic carcinoma
Annals of Surgical Oncology, 2009Co-Authors: Giovanni Ramacciato, Paolo Mercantini, Niccolo Petrucciani, Valentina Giaccaglia, Giuseppe Nigri, Matteo Ravaioli, Matteo Cescon, Alessandro Cucchetti, Massimo Del GaudioAbstract:Background Pancreatic carcinoma frequently infiltrates the portal Vein or the superior Mesenteric Vein; pancreatectomy combined with portal Vein/superior Mesenteric Vein resection represents a potentially curative treatment in these cases but is still a controversial procedure.

systematic review of outcome of synchronous portal superior Mesenteric Vein resection during pancreatectomy for cancer
British Journal of Surgery, 2006Co-Authors: H P P Siriwardana, A K SiriwardenaAbstract:BACKGROUND: Tumour clearance during pancreatectomy may be facilitated by resection of the portal-superior Mesenteric Vein, but this is associated with increased perioperative risk. There is no consensus about which patients benefit from portal-superior Mesenteric Vein resection. METHODS: A systematic appraisal was carried out of the literature on portal-superior Mesenteric Vein resection during pancreatectomy to identify recurrent themes to guide management. A computerized search of the Medline and Embase databases found 52 non-duplicated studies providing relevant data in 1646 patients. Pooled data were examined for information on outcome categories relating to operation, complications, histopathology and overall outcome. RESULTS: The median (range) number of patients with portal-superior Mesenteric Vein resection per cohort was 23 (4-172). Median operating time was 513 (168-1740) min and blood loss 1750 (300-26000) ml. Postoperative morbidity ranged from 9 to 78 per cent with a median per cohort of 42 per cent. There were 73 perioperative deaths (5.9 per cent of 1235 for whom mortality data were provided). Median survival was 13 months, and 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 50, 16 and 7 per cent respectively. Specimen histopathology confirmed positive nodes in 67.4 per cent. CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest collective report to date on portal-superior Mesenteric Vein resection in pancreatectomy. The high rate of nodal metastases and low 5-year survival rates suggest that by the time of tumour involvement of the portal Vein cure is unlikely, even with radical resection.

iatrogenic superior Mesenteric Vein injury the perils of high ligation
International Journal of Colorectal Disease, 2016Co-Authors: Michael R Freund, Yair Edden, Petachia Reissman, Amir DaganAbstract:Purpose The purpose of this review is to highlight the perils and pitfalls associated with high vascular ligation during right colectomies for adenocarcinoma and to identify the various mechanisms of injury to the superior Mesenteric Vein (SMV) and its tributaries.
