Fig. 11A. 54-year-old man 16 days after Whipple procedure. Axial CT
scans show soft-tissue cuff around celiac (white arrow, A) and
superior mesenteric (black arrow, B) arteries. This finding is
also seen with Frey's and Puestow procedures and distal pancreatectomy and
probably represents postoperative perivascular edema or fibrosis. In absence
of preoperative vascular cuffing, finding in first few months after surgery
should not be regarded as suspicious for tumor presence. Note postoperative
pneumobilia (arrowhead, A).
