摘要

Purposes

Endovascular management of post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) is widely accepted as a less invasive alternative to relaparotomy. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stent graft placement compared with transarterial embolization (TAE) for treating extraluminal PPH.

Methods

Among 741 patients who underwent pancreatectomy at our institution between 2005 and 2025, 45 (6.1%) developed extraluminal PPH requiring hemostatic intervention and were included in this retrospective analysis. The clinical outcomes following stent graft placement were compared with those following TAE.

Results

Ten patients underwent stent graft placement, 30 underwent TAE, and two underwent laparotomy after unsuccessful TAE. Hemostasis was successfully achieved in all patients treated with stent grafts, with preservation of the arterial blood flow. Among patients with extraluminal PPH involving the hepatic artery (n = 23), post-treatment hepatic infarction or abscess formation occurred significantly more frequently in the TAE group (7/14) than in the stent graft group (0/9) (p = 0.046). Although stent patency declined over time, intrahepatic arterial perfusion was preserved in all patients, despite stent occlusion.

Conclusions

Stent graft placement for extraluminal PPH may be superior to TAE in preventing hepatic infarction and abscess formation while maintaining hepatic arterial perfusion.
