Aim To develop a clinical strategy for the interposition of portomesenteric vein (PMV) by means of allograft in pancreatic surgery. Patients and Methods Between J anuary 2004 and S eptember 2011, nine patients had PMV interposition using allograft for massive vascular involvement by pancreatic tumour during pancreaticoduodenectomy. Their clinical outcomes were reviewed. Results After anastomosis of the allografts, three of which were fresh portal venous allografts, and six of which were cryopreserved iliac arterial allografts harvested from cadaveric donors, follow‐up D oppler ultrasonography revealed neither thrombosis nor stenosis. Conclusions The allografts might provide a feasible and clinically‐attractive option in PMV interposition in the radical resection of pancreatic tumours.
