President’s Letter
Welcome back to Miami and the Eden Roc for the
2014 Congress of the Americas Hepato-PancreatoBillliary Association. I’m excited to be hosting this
year’s conference and to highlight the success of our
association.
William C. Chapman, MD
As we begin our annual meeting I would like to give
a special thank you to Bryan Clary and the entire
Program Committee for their tireless work in bringing
together a top-notch conference. The program will
include a wide variety of topics, highly experienced
speakers and some spirited debates.
President Elect Elijah Dixon has coordinated this year’s Postgraduate Course
with controversial HPB topics, expansive case studies and a list of international
experts. We hope you’ll join us for this invaluable experience.
Each year we invite some of the top leaders in our field to be guest speakers.
We will welcome Göran Klintmalm, Chairman and Chief of the Baylor Regional
Transplant Institute in Dallas/Fort Worth. Our historical lecturer will be J. Michael
Henderson, Chief Quality Officer at the Cleveland Clinic Health System.
We’ve made a few enhancements to the meeting this year including changes to
the CME process and a new meeting application. We’ll offer our CME program
on-line. This new process should make getting your CME and self-assessment
credits much easier. The meeting app provides meeting content, scheduling
and logistic information, as well as general information and frequently asked
questions.
AHPBA has continued to evolve and grow. The evidence of our success is seen
across the board through committee work and management. We’ve recently
transitioned to a new management company. LP etc has been working to improve
our internal systems and processes to better manage all the details that go into
running our organization at peak efficiency.
This year our Membership Committee is focused on expanding into the Americas
and as a result we have added five new chapters in 2014: Canada, Guatemala,
Mexico, Panama and Uruguay, to add to our four existing chapters of Argentina,
Brazil, Chile and Ecuador. Currently we have six additional chapters pending:

Bolivia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Peru, Dominican Republic, and Paraguay. This new
expansion brings more resources, knowledge and experiences to our membership
and is an exciting new direction for AHPBA. Welcome to all our new AHPBA
members throughout the Americas.
We’ve also worked extensively on upgrading our web presence with a more userfriendly layout and a new Case of the Month feature. Our social media has been
greatly expanded with the addition of an AHPBA YouTube channel, FaceBook page
and a Twitter feed. Check our web page for links to all these features.
We encourage you to get involved in AHPBA by joining a committee. AHPBA
offers over 225 committee positions. Regardless of your area of interest, you’ll
find a position that fits and you’ll help support our growing organization.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve as President. Enjoy the meeting!

Distinguished Service Award
Steven M. Strasberg, MD
Washington University
St. Louis, MO
This year the AHPBA Council has unanimously
chosen Dr. Steven Strasberg as the well-deserved
recipient of the 2014 Distinguished Service Award.
“This award is a great honor. There are so many
people I look up to and respect in this organization.
To be recognized by those important contributors in
our field is such a privilege,” says Dr. Strasberg.
Steven M. Strasberg, MD
Washington University
Medical Center
St. Louis, MO

Dr. Strasberg is a graduate of the University of
Toronto Medical School and the Gallie Course
in Surgery. He was an attending surgeon at the
University of Toronto rising to the position of
Professor of Surgery and was the first director of
the Surgical Scientist Program. In 1992 he moved
to Washington University in Saint Louis where he
became Pruett Professor of Surgery and founding
head of the Section of HPB Surgery. He has
published approximately 250 peer reviewed papers
and 50 book chapters and has held grants from the
MRC and NIH. His current subject areas of interest
February 19–23, 2014 | Miami Beach, FL — Eden Roc
Distinguished Service Award
continued
are avoidance and management of biliary injury, classification and quantification
of surgical complications, and development of novel anatomic approaches in HPB
surgery.
The achievement most gratifying to Dr. Strasberg is bringing procedures
into surgery to increase safety and efficacy. He has worked extensively on
laparoscopic cholecystectomy using the “Critical View of Safety,” which has
increased the safety of the operations. He has introduced new operations for
cancer of the pancreas including a novel approach for resection called RAMPS. “If
I had to pick what I am most pleased with when I look back on my career, it would
be having a direct impact on surgery in terms of safety.”
Dr. Strasberg has been a long-time supporter of AHPBA and was involved in the
formation meetings for the organization starting in 1994 as a member of the
original Council. He organized the first AHPBA sponsored Post-Graduate Course
during the 1994 AASLD meeting in Chicago. He fondly remembers the inaugural
AHPBA meeting in 1997 at the Doral Resort in Miami. “There were only 97
members at the meeting and we used three rooms. The council members would
take turns rotating into each room so they didn’t look empty.”
From 2001 to 2003 Dr. Strasberg served as AHPBA’s fourth President. During
that time membership numbers grew to more than 400. Since his tenure as
President, he has been an active participant in the organization and consistently
attended the Annual Meeting. “Although the HPB field seems specialized, the
AHPBA Annual Meeting brings together so many experts on very specific areas of
knowledge and techniques. I come away from the meetings full of new knowledge
and energized and excited about my work.”
Dr. Strasberg is optimistic about the future of AHPBA. Along with the close
relationship with IHPBA, he sees a focus on continued close involvement with
South and Central American chapters as critical to developing new strategies
for managing HPB diseases. This global approach is developing new ideas,
techniques and modalities for improved patient care.
Another area Dr. Strasberg would like to see expansion is through relationships
with Industry. “These connections are so beneficial to our field. We can work
with industry to bridge gaps in equipment and educational support.”
16
February 19–23, 2014 | Miami Beach, FL — Eden Roc
Distinguished Service Award
continued
This progressive approach is also reflected in AHPBA’s strong focus on teaching
and development of fellows and residents. Dr. Strasberg hopes these programs
continue to attract the best and brightest in the HPB field and to expose them to
the benefits of joining AHPBA. According to Dr. Strasberg, “AHPBA is successful
because of a devoted group of people. I would like to encourage the younger
members to put in effort and keep us moving forward.”
As AHPBA expands, Dr. Strasberg appreciates the organization’s ability to retain
it’s personality. “Although our membership and meeting continue to grow, the
character of the organization hasn’t changed. We still feel like a big club.”
Dr. Strasberg enjoys time with his wife, children and grandchildren. “I would
like to thank my wife, Yona, for her support. The Distinguished Service Award
recognizes my service to our field and our patients. Without Yona’s support in all
the other areas of our lives, I would never have had the time and focus to provide
that service.”
REDUCE
POST-SURGICAL COMPLICATIONS
Hemodynamic optimization through Perioperative Goal-Directed Therapy in moderate
to high-risk surgery enhances recovery and is associated with a significant reduction in
post-surgical complications and length of stay.1
Common surgical complications include acute kidney injury (AKI), anastomotic leaks, surgical
site infections (SSI), urinary tract infection (UTI), pneumonia, and major/minor GI complications.

and Oncology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Kevin C. Soares, MD
PD-1/PD-L1 blockade antibodies coordinate
with vaccine therapy to overcome multiple
immunosuppressive pathways and improve
effector T cell infiltration in pancreatic
adenocarcinoma
Research Synopsis: Pancreatic cancer (PDA) is highly resistant to standard
treatment regimens and new therapies are sorely needed. Our phase I/II human
clinical trials utilizing a GM-CSF secreting allogeneic pancreas tumor vaccine
(GVAX) have been shown to be safe and tumor antigen specific responses
have correlated with prolonged survival. However, pancreatic tumors consist
of a strong immunosuppressive network, enabling tumor immune evasion and
blunting vaccine-induced responses. Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and its
ligand programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) constitute a major tolerance
mechanism. Clinical trials of αPD-1 and αPD-L1 antibodies have proven effective
in solid tumors, although objective responses were not seen in a small subset
of PDA patients. GVAX treated patients have demonstrated infiltration of
PD-1+ T cells, which is a major immunosuppressive mechanism in the tumor
microenvironment. We aimed to manipulate the PDA tumor microenvironment
through the blockade of PD-1 or PD-L1 in combination with GVAX. We
hypothesized that the use of PD-1 or PD-L1 blocking antibody and GVAX will
improve vaccine therapy and pancreatic cancer survival.
Immunohistochemistry analysis of human PDA resected from patients two weeks
after GVAX therapy revealed significant upregulation of PD-L1 membranous
staining compared to unvaccinated patients. Similarly, in a preclinical metastatic
model of murine PDA, GVAX therapy significantly upregulated PD-L1 expression
on neoplastic cells. We subsequently demonstrated that combinatorial therapy
of GVAX with PD-1 blockade significantly improves survival and cure rates
compared to vaccine and checkpoint monotherapy in a highly stringent pancreatic
cancer murine model. Combinatorial therapy significantly increased effector T
cell trafficking to the tumor microenvironment and overcame additional immune
checkpoint mechanisms. Taken together, our findings support the combination of
GVAX vaccine therapy with αPD-1 or αPD-L1 blockade in pancreatic cancer patients.

inflammation as well as in carcinogenesis. We have
previously shown that blockade of certain pattern
recognition receptors (PRRs), in particular, Toll-Like Receptors 4 and 7 (TLR4
and TLR7), mitigates pancreatic inflammation and the progression to pancreatic
cancer. My research focuses on the importance of Mincle, a novel PRR, in the
above disease processes. The Mincle receptor is present on many different
antigen-presenting cells (APCs), and has been shown to be critical for the
immune response to mycobacteria and fungi. However, its role in models of
pancreatic inflammation has never been studied.
I have found that Mincle and its signaling intermediates are upregulated in a
mouse model of acute pancreatitis. In addition, Mincle blockade decreases
pancreatic immune infiltrate. Most significantly, I have discovered that Mincle and
TLR4 co-associate on the cell surface, and that Mincle-/- mice have an increased
response to TLR4 stimulation. These data suggest that Mincle negatively
regulates TLR4 signaling. Regulation of TLR responses is extremely important
in maintaining physiologic homeostasis and in limiting septic injury, tissue
damage, and autoimmunity. My work seeks to elucidate the cellular mechanism
of Mincle and TLR4 cross-talk and its importance in the pathogenesis of
pancreatic inflammation. Knowledge of this interaction can ultimately lead to the
development of therapeutic interventions for pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.

Mercado at the national Institute of medical science and nutrition Salvador
Zubiran (INNSZ). While the focus of my travel was initially educational with the
intention to study and work on their HPB Fellowship, a clinical component to the
trip naturally materialized.
Adnan A. Alseid, MD, EdM
Educationally; it was truly refreshing to see a rather energetic educational
atmosphere with a very vibrant and strong residency and HPB education for
both Fellows and residents. I had the opportunity to participate in tumor boards,
multidisciplinary HPB rounds, observe both residents and Fellows in the operating
room with incredible autonomy, and I was given the privilege of lecturing to the
house-staff on curricular design of educational programs and methods to improve
and assess psychomotor skills and learning.
Clinically; I was rather impressed with the HPB experience that exists at INNSZ.
Particularly with the incredibly high volume, almost 2 to 3 per week, of bile duct
repairs that were being reformed. This is clearly recognized as a public health
problem at INNSZ. I was honored to be allowed to participate in the creation of a
bile duct injury prevention workforce. This workforce will be an integral part of the
Mexican-AHPBA meeting in December of 2014. Action items to include a formal
assessment of the problem, educational literature in Spanish for general surgeons
to change the culture of open/laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and methods of
prevention and early recognition of injuries were created and are already being
worked on.
In the end I am truly in debt to my hosts for allowing me into their busy schedules
and their homes, for the generosity, and for allowing me to participate in their
public health measures. I also would like to thank the AHPBA Foundation for
selecting me for this important award.

2013 Traveling Fellowship Recipients

Ruben Rodrigo Lozano-Salazar, MD
Hospital Regional De Alta Especialidad de
La Peninsula de Yucatan
Destination: Seattle, WA
I feel really honored to be awarded with the 2013
AHPBA Travelling Fellowship Award. I have known
Dr. Scott Helton for many years, as he has been part
of several hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) meetings
in Mexico, during my training years. I am working in
a relatively new Hospital, and tasked with developing
Ruben Rodrigo LozanoSalazar, MD
an HPB program, so I felt that this could be a great
opportunity to observe a fully operational HPB service.
Therefore, I made my plans to visit the Liver, Pancreas and Biliary Surgical Center
of Excellence at the Virginia Mason Medical Center (VMMC) in Seattle.
During my visit, I witnessed how the surgery, endoscopy, radiology, oncology
and pathology services work as a team, with fluent and rapid communication, in
order to give the patient the best treatment with a warm human touch. This was
particularly evident in the evaluation and management of patients with localized
and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. In my two-week stay in Seattle, I
took part of the clinical rounds; I participated in the gastrointestinal and pancreas
tumor board, the morbidity & mortality sessions, and conferences to discuss their
current outcomes and research. I attended several surgical procedures including
benign and malignant HPB disease, and during all those moments in the operation
room, the surgeons and all the staff in there made me feel like part of their team. I
even had the chance to support the Seahawks on their road to the Super Bowl.
I am really grateful to all the people at the VMMC who spent their time and
share their knowledge with me. Thank you very much to Scott Helton, MD, Flavio
G. Rocha, MD, Tom Biehl, MD, Adnan Alseidi, MD and Bart Rose, MD in the
Department of Surgery, Michael Larsen, MD in the Department of Therapeutic
Endoscopy. I would like to thank the AHPBA Foundation and the AHPBA Executive
Council for this unique opportunity in my academic formation. I hope that I could
return to the AHPBA in a nearby future with the first achievements of a newly
created HPB service in my Hospital in Mérida, México.
The 2014 Traveling Fellowship Application Deadline is April 1, 2014

2013 Traveling Fellowship Recipients
continued
Jiping Wang, MD, PhD
Brigham and Women’s Hospital
Destination: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Host: Alberto R. Ferreres, MD, PhD, FACS
It was a great honor to receive this travel fellowship
and had the precious opportunity to visit the HPB
programs in Argentina.
My visit started with a full day with Drs. Javier
Lendoire, MD, PhD and Fernando Duek, MD. They
gave me an introduction of the HPB program in Buenos
Aires and demonstrated the 2nd phase of liver resection
for a 2-stage operation on a patient with CRCLM at a community facility. The 2nd
day, I was introduced to Dr. Oscar Imventarza at Hospital de Pediatria “Dr. Juan
P. Garrahan”. I observed a pediatric liver transplantation case and learned the
difference between adult and pediatric liver surgeries. Then, I went to Sanatorio
Colegiales, where I observed a gallbladder cancer case with portal dissection and
segment IVb and V resection by Dr. Fernando Duek. I spend two days at Hospital
Italiano de Ruenos Aires. On the first day, Dr. Juan Pekojl demonstrated a case of
laparoscopic CBD exploration for intrahepatic lithiathis case and left lateral liver
resection. This was followed by a case of laparoscopic enucleation of a cystic
lesion in the head of pancreas. On the second day, a planned Klatskin tumor case
was cancelled due to metastatic disease. This gave me a precious opportunity
to have case discussion with Dr. Pekojl and he showed me some pearls and
tricks in liver surgery including ALLPS. Then I visited Hospital Universitario
Austral and observed an extended right hepatectomy for a CRCLM involving
the middle hepatic vein. My visit was highlighted by my visit at “Dr. Carlos A.
Bocalandro” Hospital. I participated in the discussion with Dr. Alberto Ferreres
and his residents for a patient with Mirrizi’s syndrome and an operative case of
neuroendocrine tumor at the body of pancreas with liver metastasis.
Jiping Wang, MD, PhD
In summary, this was an incredible experience and it won’t happen without
AHPBA’s support. More importantly, without Dr. Alberto R. Ferreres’s generosity
in arranging all the activities, it will not be so productive. In a very short amount
of time, I had the tremendous opportunity to observe other experts’ work, share
ideas and exchange clinical experience in patient management. Indisputably,
through the professional relationships developed, future collaboration will be
fostered. The technique pearls that I learned during this visit will be incorporated
into my future practice and will benefit patients. I would like to thank the AHPBA
again for this exceptional opportunity.

2014 Newly Established AHPBA Chapters
Canada
Sean P. Cleary, MD
Sean P. Cleary, MD
The Canadian Hepato-Pancreatico-biliary Association
was formed over a decade ago by Francis Sutherland
and Michael Marcaccio as an organization to promote
and coordinate professional, educational, research and
social activities among HPB surgeons in Canada. The
CHPBA works closely with the Canadian Association
of General Surgeons to provide HPB related content,
invited lectureships and continuing medical education
to Canadian surgeons through local and national
meetings.
There are currently 62 Canadian members of the
AHPBA that also belong to the CHPBA. While
Canadian members have always played a prominent
role and made significant contributions to the AHPBA,
the incorporation of the CHPBA as a chapter of the
AHPBA is a tremendous honour that will provide
important support and guidance in expanding
the educational activities for HPB surgeons in
Canada through consensus conferences, meetings,
lectureships and courses.
The Executive committee of the CHPBA consists
of a President (Sean Cleary), President-elect (Shiva
Jayaraman), Vice President (Jeff Barkun), Secretary
(Chad Ball) and 2 members-at-large (Elijah Dixon and
Francis Sutherland). This group meets bi-annually
in person at the Canadian Surgical Forum and the
AHPBA Annual meeting.

in memoriam
Hector Orozco, MD, 1935-2013
Hector Orozco MD, FACS a lifetime member and active
supporter of the AHPBA passed on September 28th
2013 at his home in Sahuayo Michoacán, Mexico.
Dr. Orozco was born in 1935 in Sahuayo, a small town
near Guadalarjara in Western México. He received his
MD at The Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara. He
completed a residency in internal medicine followed
Hector Orozco, MD
by surgery at the most prestigious academic center
in Mexico, Instituto Nacional de la Nutricion, Mexico
City. His ambition to become the best possible surgeon
posible led him to pursue additional training in the
United States and so he completed a second surgical
residency at The Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia, Penn. He returned to The
Instituto Nacional de la Nutricion, where he spent the next 40 years of his life
and also became Profesor and Chairman of The Departent of Surgery (19882007). During his tenure developed a world reknowned portal hypertension clinic,
performed more than 1,000 operations for portal hypertension, and was principle
investigator on some of the most important clinical trials ever performed in portal
hypertension. He began the liver transplant program in Mexico and performed
the first heterotopic transplant in 1976 and the first orthotopic liver transplant
in 1985. According to his life long colleague and friend Miguel Mercado, Hector
“became widely recognized as the best and most influential academic surgeon
in Mexico. He was an exceptional human being and surgeon who inspired and
mentored several generations of academic Surgeons”.
One of Dr. Orozco’s life long ambitions was to train and prepare a future
generation of Mexican Surgeons who could best meet the health care needs
of Mexico. He recognized that to elevate clinical excellence would require
better education and training than what was available in Mexico at the time he
became chair of surgery. For this reason, he established a collaboration with The
University of Alabama, Birmingham and a mandatory surgical rotation for his
surgical residents, which continues to this day. In addition, he sent many of his
young faculty to specialized centers around the World to acquire expertise in HPB
disease and Surgery and then hired them to join his faculty. Through these efforts,
Hector recognized the importance and value of academic international exchange
across the Americas. So, when the AHPBA first convened in 1991, Dr. Orozco
140

continued
became one of its original members and remained one of its strongest advocates.
He attended every single anual meeting and was always accompanied by his
lovely wife, Silvia. He inspired his faculty, residents, and other Latin American
Surgeons to attend the AHPBA anual meeting. To further develop and strengthen
academic relationships between the AHPBA and Mexico, Dr. Orozco invited four
or five members of the AHPBA from the United States each year to lecture at the
annual Mexican GI Surgery Symposium held at his hospital in Mexico City. The
social, cultural and intellectual exchange that occured at these meetings over the
years clearly contributed to the growth and success of the AHPBA.
Dr. Orozco was a member of the most important academic societies in Mexico,
President of the Mexican Association of Gastroenterology and the Mexican
Association of Hepatology. He was also an honorary member at The American
Surgical Association and American College of Surgeons.
Hector was an unselfish and caring human and his life time dream was to return to
his native rural community of Sahuayo to practice medicine. So, when he resigned
in 2007 as Chairman from The Instituto Nacional de Nutrición, he returned
home and offered his surgical expertise to the people of Michoacán in the public
hospital named after him. He felt strongly that since he had been given so much in
his life that he would attend only to the poor and underserved and to not charge
for his services. He also lectured and taught medical students at the University
of Guadalajara without compensation. He continued this service for six years up
until his untimely death.
Hector’s life as an academic surgeon symbolizes many of the founding principles
of the AHPBA: scholarship, education, mentorship, outreach and social
engagement. The AHPBA was fortunate to have him as an engaged and active
member. I suspect that if he had a wish for the future for the AHPBA it would
be to continue our efforts at international Academic Exchange and further our
humanitarian outreach efforts throughout The Americas.
Hector Orozco was a friend to everyone he met, a reverred mentor, a passionate
scholar, charismatic leader, a gifted surgeon and ambassodor for Mexican and
Latin American Surgeons. He is survived by his wife Silvia and his three children:
Adrian, Paulo and Julian. While Hector will be sadly missed he will be forever
remembered by the convivient personality and infectious smile he brought with
him every year to the AHPBA.
