Pancreaticoduodenectomy with vascular resection/reconstruction can be safely completed following 6 standard steps plus basic principles of vascular surgery. Particular attention is paid to the location of the tumor relative to the 2 first-order vein branches, portal vein -splenic vein -superior mesenteric vein confluence, inferior mesenteric vein, and the presence of arterial perineural invasion. Successful resection following neoadjuvant therapy can result in median survival 3 times that of historical controls.
