This study delves into the use of allogeneic vessels (AV) in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with portal vein resection (PVR) and its relationship with portal vein thrombosis (PVT). The findings reveal that PVT is notably prevalent, especially in cases involving AV reconstructions. Independent risk factors for PVT include diabetes, the surgical procedure performed, and AV reconstruction. Furthermore, PVT is linked to tumor recurrence and long-term survival in pancreatic cancer patients. These results highlight the importance of considering PVT in the management of PD with PVR.
