Fig. 1From: Colonic varices treated with embolization after pancreatoduodenectomy with portal vein resection: a case reportSchema of the operation. The schema of the operation is depicted. SSPPD with PVR was performed. PV had 4 cm of its length resected, and end-to-end anastomosis was performed without reconstructing the SpV. RCV, accRCV, and MCV which received reflux directly from the PV-SMV were all resected due to tumor invasion. PV, portal vein; SMV, superior mesenteric vein; RCV, right colic vein; accRCV, accessary right colic vein; MCV, middle colic vein; LGV, left gastric vein; SpV, splenic vein; IMV, inferior mesenteric veinBack to article page
