Pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm associated with coeliac trunk occlusion treated with aorto-hepatic bypass and aneurysm resection

“…The dorsal pancreatic artery may arise from the coeliac trunk or its branches or the superior mesenteric artery and provides anastomotic pathways between these two main visceral arteries and thus is also predilected to aneurysm formation in the presence of coeliac trunk stenosis. 11,12 A variation of the dorsal pancreatic artery, the arc of Bühler 13 is an artery directly connecting the coeliac trunk with the superior mesenteric artery with an estimated prevalence of 0.09%. 14 Revascularization of the coeliac trunk may not be necessary for the treatment of aneurysms of the arc of Bühler or dorsal pancreatic artery may if the pancreaticoduodenal arcades are preserved.…”

Diagnostically challenging rupture of pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm: A case report

“…Aneurysms can be diagnosed using CT, angiography or magnetic resonance imaging. Widespread use of cross-sectional imaging studies in the past decade has increased the number of patients diagnosed with aneurysm; however, most aneurysms are asymptomatic and are incidentally diagnosed (8). Our patient was diagnosed using a combination of CT and angiography.…”
