Notes: From 2010 to 2015, 1382 potential eligible PDAC patients were enrolled in this study. Altogether 209 patients satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria (PVR group, n=111; SB group, n=50; chemo group, n=46). Three patients in PVR group were found liver metastasis during intraoperative exploration and were excluded. Tumors of two patients in PVR group were without the ability of reconstruction, thus undergoing SB procedure and were divided into SB group. Finally 204 eligible PDCA patients were enrolled (PVR group, n=106; SB group, n=52; chemo group, n=46).
