Abstract

A 74-year-old female was diagnosed as having a carcinoma of the papilla of Vater. Preoperative computed tomography showed stenosis of the celiac trunk and an enlarged artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) joining the root of the splenic artery. Since this artery communicated with the SMA and the celiac trunk, independently of the gastroduodenal and dorsal pancreatic arteries, it was considered to be the arc of Buhler (AOB). The arterial blood flow to the liver, spleen, and stomach appeared to depend on the AOB, such that AOB preservation was considered to be essential. A subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy with preservation of the AOB was thus performed. Although AOB is a relatively infrequent type of arterial communication between the SMA and the celiac trunk, it needs to be preserved during pancreaticoduodenectomy when celiac trunk stenosis is present.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 March 2016.
All research outputs
#20,313,158
of 22,854,458 outputs
Outputs from Surgical Case Reports
#239
of 488 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#252,368
of 298,965 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Surgical Case Reports
#9
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,854,458 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 488 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 0.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 298,965 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
