Objective To explore the cause,treatment and prognosis of delayed massive haemorrhage (DMH) after pancreatic resection.Method Clinical data of 1554 patients undergoing pancreatectomy in our hospital from Aug 2003 to Aug 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results 16 patients suffered from DMH,including 13 patients who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy,and 3 patients who had had resection of pancreatic body and tail.Gastrointestinal haemorrhage occurred in 6 patients,intra-abdominal haemorrhage occurred in 10 patients,respectively.Reoperations were performed in 11 patients,transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) undertaken in 2 patients,and endoscopic treatment in 3 patients.10 patients recovered after treatment,6 patients (6/16) died.Conclusions The mortality of DMH after pancreatic surgery is high.Postoperative pancreatic leak and gastrointestinal stress ulcer are the most possible risk factors,intra-abdominal arterial haemorrhage is the main cause of death.

Objective To discuss the method, safety and clinical value of biliary stenting combined with 125I seed implantation intracavitary irradiation in treating malignant obstructive jaundice. Methods A total of 36 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice were enrolled in this study. PTCD was carried out in all patients, which was followed by biliary stenting combined with 125I seed implantation intracavitary irradiation treatment. The results were analyzed. Results During the interventional management, displacement of the stent and 125I seeds were observed in two cases, and the displaced stent and 125I seeds were replaced to the right position with the help of biliary biopsy forceps. The technical success rate was 100%, and the remission rate of the jaundice was 100%. All the patients were followed up for 1-23 months. No radioactive particles leaking or complications such as radiation enteritis occurred. No in-stent obstruction due to tumor recurrence was observed although slight dilatation of intrahepatic bile duct was detected in 25%of patients, which was resulted from intimal hyperplasia at the stent mesh and/or biliary stone formation. The median survival time was 10.9 months. Conclusion For the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice, biliary stenting combined with 125I seed implantation intracavitary irradiation is safe, reliable and effective. This technique can prolong stent patency time as well as the patient’s survival time.
