Changes in Pancreatic Texture After Single-shot Administration of 500 µg Octreotide in the Gastroduodenal Artery During Pancreatoduodenectomy - a Double-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial
The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that intraarterial bolus application of 500 µg Octreotide in the gastroduodenal artery during the resectional phase of pancreatoduodenectomy in patients with soft pancreatic tissue hardens the texture of the pancreatic remnant. A primary end-point of the study is a change in pancreatic texture. A secondary end-point is the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula.
