Pancreaticoduodenectomy
Whipple, 1935: successful two-stage en bloc resections of the head of the pancreas and the duodenum.
Trimble, 1941:The first one-stage pancreaticoduodenectomy
Infrequently performed until the 1980s despite technical advances because of the formidable operative morbidity, mortality.

Definitions
Early haemorrhageBleeding occurring in the first 24 h
Late haemorrhage Bleeding occurring after 24 h
Sentinel bleeding Intermittent minor haemorrhage, which implies a
fall in Hb of < 1.5 points and does not require treatment, does not destabilize the patient, but usually precedes a major haemorrhage.
Blood in the NG tube or hematemesis/melena or blood in abdominal drains
![Page 8: Haemorrhage Post Pancreaticoduodenectomy](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020122/552e8b6f4a7959b7628b4944/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Clinical grading of bleeding severity (ISGPS classification)
Based on three parameters: Time of onset
late >24 h early <24 h
Location Intraluminal Extraluminal
Severity Mild - a drop in Hb of < 03 points with significant
clinical manifestations [tachycardia, hypotension, oliguria, shock, transfusion of > 03 units of packed red blood cells]
Severe - requiring invasive treatment [surgery or interventional radiology]

Clinical grading of bleeding severity (ISGPS classification)
Defining three grades: A, B, and C . Grade A - bleeding stops early, the patient is
clinically stable and responds to conservative medical treatment
Grade B - presents early or late, rarely threatens the patient’s life, and its treatment ranges from the conservative to laparotomy
Grade C - occurs late, is severely life-threatening, and requires aggressive treatment (laparotomy or angiography).

PPH :Types
Early PPH Technical failure of appropriate hemostasis at
anastomotic sites, e.g., suture lines and resection areaAn underlying perioperative coagulopathy
Delayed PPHUlceration of gastroenteral anastomosis (marginal
ulcer)Leakage of venous anastomosis after portal vein
resection Erosion of peripancreatic vesselsPseudoaneurysm formation - Stepwise erosion of the
celiac trunk and the SMA that may subsequently rupture.

Factors - Late PPH

pancreatic fistula J Am Coll Surg 2004;199:186-191. Am J Surg 2007;193:454-459.
Brodsky and Turnbull - 75% of their patients had an associated pancreatic leak.
Yekebas et al - pancreatic fistula was significantly associated with PPH.

113 Patients, Prospective study, 31Patients (27.4%) PPH
Analysed - Sex, age, comorbidities, ASA score, Type and extension of resection, texture of the pancreatic stump, Duct dilatation, treatment of the pancreatic stump and benign/Malignant
The only factor significantly related to late post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage was Postoperative pancreatic fistula (P<0.001). The severity of postoperative pancreatic fistula (P<0.001) and pancreatic anastomosis (P=0.049) independently increased the risk of late hemorrhage.

Mechanism of BleedingExtensive skeletonization of the CA and the SMA during
lymphadenectomy or resection of the pancreas may injure the vessel wall. Thermal injuries by using electrocautery Damages to the vascular outer layer during dissection.
Postoperative leak of the PJ or HJ may induce digestion of vascular structures by the erosive pancreatic or
biliary juice.Abscess formation can also erode the vessel wall or a vascular
anastomosis, e.g., after portal vein resection.Local tissue destruction may disrupt ligatures and sutures, typically
at the stump of the gastroduodenal artery.Local vessel wall necrosis –
mechanical pressure of a drain lying on a vessel ascending infection along the drain.

Management
Pancreatic leak and intra-abdominal sepsis - independent risk factors of subsequent massive bleedingMainstay of delayed PPH preventionPrompt recognition and management of Pancreatic Fistula/ Leak
In case of conservatively treated pancreatic fistula, strict surveillance including a weekly CT angiography to detect the development of a pseudonaneurysm. Median Onset of delayed PPH - 13 to 27 days Post Op.
![Page 20: Haemorrhage Post Pancreaticoduodenectomy](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020122/552e8b6f4a7959b7628b4944/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Management
The traditional treatment - surgery.Surgical access to the bleeding vessel is always difficult
the overlying pancreaticoenteric and bilioenteric anastomosis the presence of postsurgical adhesionsthe eroded bleeding vessel is also difficult to repair due to
peripancreatic inflammation and vessel wall friability.Interventional radiologial hemostasis (e.g., coiling or
stenting)preferred option in hemodynamically “Stabilized” patients.
![Page 21: Haemorrhage Post Pancreaticoduodenectomy](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020122/552e8b6f4a7959b7628b4944/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Surgery: Indication
Acute life-threatening hemodynamic deterioration with decrease of Hb >3 g/dL or evident bleeding drained percutaneously or via the nasogastric tube
Critical hemodynamic instability with continuing requirement of packed red blood cells exceeding 6 units per 12 hours without evidence for the bleeding source by angiography/endoscopy.
In case of life-threatening situations, bedside decisions without measurement of Hb should be taken.

Management
Angiography vs Re-laparotomySuccess: 80% 76%Mortality: 22% 47% “Blind” coiling of the GDA could also provide bleeding control
after a negative angiography. Some prefer surgery as first-line therapy
Complications such as pancreatic leak and intraabdominal abscess can be treated.
Patients with pancreatic leaks can be treated conservatively if no local or systemic inflammatory response occurs.
Intraabdominal abscess can be treated by a CT-guided percutaneous drainage.

Complication of Stent/ Coiling
Complete occlusion of CHA & HA by angiographic embolization liver necrosis, intra-hepatic abscess biliary ischemia hepatic failure
However, anatomical reasons, such as kinking, and anatomical variations may impede successful stent placement.
Bleeding from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) the potential risk of intestinal infarction subsequently to coil embolization.
To avoid these severe complications the use of covered stent was described for the treatment of bleeding of
hepatic arteries and SMA. (J Vasc Interv Radiol 1998;9:779–82).

Conclusion
Delayed postoperative bleeding after a pancreatic resection is a rare but highly lethal complication.
The prompt recognition and treatment of risk factors such as pancreatic leakage and intra-abdominal abscess is essential to prevent its deleterious outcome.
Sentinel bleeding occurring after a pancreatic surgery needs to be thoroughly investigated for a pseudoaneurysm formation.
If detected, interventional angiography provides optimal management by avoiding collateral damage after major revisional surgery.
Surgery - therapeutic option if no interventional radiology is available, or patients cannot be resuscitated for an interventional treatment
