| Abstract |
A 57 year old male presented to our department with recurrent attacks of sepsis and upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to colorectal cancer metastasis that resulted in a fistula involving the inferior vena cava and the third part of the duodenum. Four and a half years ago he underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy due to colonic adenocarcinoma. A year prior to his recent hospitalization he underwent cytoreductive surgery followed by HIPEC due to peritoneal metastases in another hospital. During the operation a metastasis adherent to the inferior vena cava and the III part of the duodenum was revealed. The surgeon decided to mark the area with hemo- clips and after the patient recovered from surgery he was sent for radiotherapy aimed at controlling the left over metastases. In his current hospitalization he underwent an en bloc resection of the III part of the duodenum, the adherent vena cava and the right kidney. Gross pathology revealed a fistula between the vena cava and the duodenum with bile stained clot within the resected part of the vena cava. The patient recovered well with resolutions of his presenting symptoms. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 July 2015.
All research outputs
#20,282,766
of 22,816,807 outputs
Outputs from World Journal of Emergency Surgery
#470
of 544 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#219,272
of 262,956 outputs
Outputs of similar age from World Journal of Emergency Surgery
#9
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,816,807 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 544 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 262,956 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
