Successful use of direct Splenic Vein anastomosis to the interposition Internal Jugular Vein graft after extended pancreatoduodenectomy to avoid sinistral portal hypertension.

We describe a case of a 19-year female who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm with portal-superior mesenteric vein junction resection, splenic venous was anastomosed into the interposition graft. We here share our unique experience of using an interposition IJV graft for a long venous defect and diverging morbidity of sinistral portal hypertension.
