Résumé
Nowadays more old and comorbid patients, such as patients with a history of multiple coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), are surgical candidates for pancreaticoduodenectomy. Harvesting of the right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) is one of the most commonly used methods when multiple CABGs are required. We report a case of pancreaticoduodenectomy performed in a patient who had the RGEA used as an in situ graft for CABG. The RGEA was successfully preserved, with an uneventful postoperative course.
