Abstract

ABSTRACTA group of 80 patients with arteriomesenteric duodenal compression syndrome was reviewed, 48 from the general population and 32 from the Hines, Illinois, VA Hospital. Differences in the patient populations are pointed out, as are differences in the therapeutic results. An additional series is reported. Duodenojejunostomy is a safe and effective operation for the majority of patients who require surgery for this condition, and patients are less likely to require further medical or surgical care than those who have section of the ligament of Treitz.
