its function. To prevent graft occlusion, it is important to select an autologous renal vein with an adequate size and length. The graft should not be redundant or left with tension.

In conclusion, an aggressive surgery with major vascular resection is justified in selected patients with pancreatic cancer, in whom a segmental resection can be performed safely without an increase in morbidity or mortality rates when compared to a standard duodenopancreatectomy the use of an autologous graft of left renal vein is a feasible and reproducible technique with good long-term results.
