Eleven-year patency of ligamentum teres hepatis graft for portal vein and superior mesenteric vein reconstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy: A case report

This case provides rare long-term data supporting the feasibility of using the LTH as an autologous graft for venous reconstruction. Given its accessibility, structural similarity to native veins, and potential for long-term patency, the LTH may be considered a viable substitute in complex portal venous reconstruction during pancreatic surgery.
