Perioperative Management of Factor V Leiden and Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.

Background

Perioperative management of a patient with factor V Leiden has been infrequently reported with most studies focused in the orthopedic literature. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 74-year-old woman who underwent a pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy without immediate perioperative embolic or thrombotic phenomena and her management throughout her hospital course.

Conclusion

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first known report regarding factor V Leiden and surgical management of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
