In a case of carcinoma of Papilla of Vater with angiographically proved celiac axis stenosis, PTA (Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty) was performed to restore sufficient blood flow, followed by standard pancreaticoduodenectomy. This would be the first case to have PTA applied to the cancer-bearing celiac axis stenosis.
The patient was 58 year old female, presented with acute abdominal pain and vomiting. DIC revealing protruding defect in the choledochus and hypotonic duodenography showed elevated tumor at Papilla of Vater. Aortography revealed 75% circumferential stenosis at the celiac artery and superior mesenteric angiography visualized all the branches of the celiac axis via dilated pancreaticoduodenal arcades.
PTA with Grüntzig Dilaca (4.3Fr), 5 atm for 60 seconds serially every two min for 4 times was performed with the immediate relief of the stenosis down to 25%. Intraoperatively 70－80ml/sec flow confirmed, pancreaticoduodenectomy was done without sacrifying curability. PTA would be superior strategy to restore sufficient blood flow in cases with GI anastomoses, compared with other bypass or reimplantation surgery.
