Pancreaticoduodenal and gastroduodenal artery aneurysms are rare but require early radiological or surgical intervention due to a high risk (61%) of rupture. A 71-year-old woman presented with an incidental 30-mm aneurysm arising from the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery associated with coeliac axis stenosis. She underwent embolisation of the pancreaticoduodenal aneurysm, but the coeliac axis stenosis was not amenable to radiological intervention. She remained well at six months of follow-up and a repeat computed tomography angiogram six months later reported stable appearances. The management of pancreaticoduodenal aneurysms is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
