Gastroduodenal artery (GDA) aneurysms are rare but lethal conditions when ruptures develop. Most common clinical presentation are gastrointestinal hemorrhage and abdominal pain. Obstructive jaundice is unusual. Computed tomography and angiography are useful tools for diagnosis and treatment plan. Any GDA aneurysm should be considered for definitive treatment. Recently, endovascular intervention has gained popularity for its safety and efficacy. Here, we described a patient of GDA pseudoaneurysm presented with generalized jaundice and was treated successfully with endovascular intervention.

Encountering Arc of Bühler during pancreaticoduodenectomy surgery.

The Arc of Bühler (AoB) is a rare anatomical variant in gastrointestinal vasculature where there is an aberrant anastomotic vessel between coeliac and superior mesenteric arteries. We present a rare case where AoB was noted intraoperatively to have haemodynamically significant flow in the context of coeliac artery stenosis, supplementing arterial supply to the hepatic artery proper via the gastroduodenal artery (GDA). An interpositional jump graft between the aorta and the GDA stump was created using the long saphenous vein, and flow was restored.

Introduction: The duodeno-pancreatic region is a highly vascularized area. The superior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal artery is a vessel primarily originating from the gastroduodenal artery. It exhibits rare anatomical variations, such as its emergence from the right branch of the hepatic artery, which we fortuitously identified during a cadaver dissection.

Gallium-Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (Ga-FAPI) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly used for evaluating various epithelial neoplasms. Despite addressing some pitfalls, many remain unacknowledged. This report details a 77-year-old man with suspected pancreatic malignancy who underwent a Ga-FAPI PET/CT scan post-gastroduodenal coil embolization for upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
