Impact of continuous local lavage on pancreatic juice-related postoperative complications: Three case reports

Figure 7 Typical findings of anastomotic leakage and arterial rupture associated with intractable pancreatic fistula. A: Anastomotic leakage is a potentially fatal complication related to pancreatic juice leakage. Typical findings in postoperative examinations for digestive tract leakage secondary to anastomotic failure caused by intractable pancreatic fistula are shown; B: Arterial rupture of a pseudoaneurysm is a fatal complication related to pancreatic juice leakage. Typical angiographic findings for arterial pseudoaneurysm rupture caused by intractable pancreatic fistula are shown. CA: Celiac artery; CHA: Common hepatic artery; GDA: Gastroduodenal artery; LGA: Left gastric artery; PHA: Proper hepatic artery; POD: Postoperative day; SA: Splenic artery.
