Summary
The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that intraarterial bolus application of 500 µg
Octreotide in the gastroduodenal artery during the resectional phase of pancreatoduodenectomy

A primary end-point of the study is a change in pancreatic texture.
A secondary end-point is the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula.
