Background Venous resection may be required to achieve complete resection of pancreatic cancers. We assessed the ability of radiographic criteria to predict the need for superior mesenteric–portal vein (SMV-PV) resection and the presence of histologic vein invasion. Methods All patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy from 2004 to 2011 at the authors’ institution were identified. Preoperative...

METHODS:The authors evaluated 225 consecutive patients with stage...
