The consequences of major visceral vascular injuries on outcome in patients with pancreatic injuries: a case-matched analysis.

CONCLUSION: This study confirms that pancreatic injuries associated with major visceral vascular injuries have a significantly higher complication and mortality rate than pancreatic injuries without vascular injuries and that the addition of a vascular injury with an increasing AAST grade of pancreatic injury exponentially compounds the mortality rate.
