A 30 year old male patient presented with massive hemetemesis. On upper GI scopy, 3x2 cm ulcer was seen on the posterior aspect of 1st pa of the duodenum. Bleeding vessel seen, but could not be controlled endoscopically. Pulse rate 100, BP 110/70, Hb 10 gms% after blood transfusion. What will be the next line of management?

For patients bleeding from duodenal ulcers, truncal vagotomy, pyloroplasty, and oversewing of the bleeding vessel is the most widely used operation.
