Article Synopsis
  • - A case study outlines the treatment of a rare pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm (PDAA) in a 60-year-old woman with a unique anatomy—she had a hypoplastic celiac artery and blood supply coming from a dilated superior mesenteric artery.
  • - The patient underwent open surgical reconstruction, which involved resecting the PDAA and reconstructing the pancreaticoduodenal artery, leading to successful blood flow restoration during and after surgery.
  • - The surgical intervention was effective; the patient recovered well and was discharged five days post-op with normal liver function tests, indicating a promising management strategy for similar cases.
