Our study highlights the importance of having a low threshold for repeated CT imaging in the post-pancreaticoduodenectomy setting, particularly when there remains a high index of suspicion clinically for a post-operative complication, even in the context of previous benign imaging. Given the complexity of pancreaticoduodenectomy, we believe early detection with liberal imaging allows the best chance at successfully managing the morbidity and mortality associated in the post-pancreaticoduodenectomy setting.
