Introduction: Visceral artery aneurysms are rare vascular pathologies. They are usually incidental findings during the examination for other reasons. The most common clinical symptoms are nonspecific abdominal pain and bleeding caused by their rupture, with a severe clinical presentation. Aneurysms of pancreaticoduodenal arcade are more common in patients with well-developed collateral circulation due to the coeliac trunk stenosis or occlusion.
Case Report: In this case report the authors present a rare case of a patient with incidental finding of pancreaticoduodenal arcade aneurysm in the setting of severe stenosis of coeliac trunk origin caused by medial arcuate ligament compression. The diameter of the aneurysm was 40 mm and endovascular treatment was not possible because of unfavorable anatomical setting. The patient was successfully treated with resection of the aneurysm and the division of medial arcuate ligament during one surgery.
Conclusion: There is no correlation between the diameter and the risk of rupture of the pancreaticoduodenal arcade aneurysm. Because of high morbidity and mortality of their rupture, most authors recommend active treatment of these aneurysms. The necessity to treat truncus coeliacus stenosis or occlusion remains a controversial issue.

Title: Is Celiac Trunk Revascularization Necessary After High-Flow Pancreaticoduodenal Arterial Arcades Aneurysm Retrograde Embolization?

High-flow pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysms secondary to celiac trunk occlusion or stenosis have a high risk of rupture. Embolization offers a less invasive alternative to surgery. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of retrograde embolization via the superior mesenteric artery of high-flow PDA aneurysms without celiac trunk revascularization.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment of unruptured pancreatic arcade aneurysms in a single-center series.
Materials And Methods: The electronic medical records of patients who underwent endovascular treatment for unruptured pancreatic arcade aneurysms between 2011 and 2022 at our tertiary center were retrospectively reviewed. The presence of celiac artery stenosis/occlusion; aneurysm number, location, and size; endovascular technique; procedure-related complication incidence; and clinical outcomes were assessed.

Celiac axis stenosis (CAS) is one of the most prevalent splanchnic arterial pathologies. It seldom results in clinically severe ischemic bowel disease because of the rich collateral circulation from the superior mesenteric artery. Knowledge about the collaterals in celiac artery stenosis guides various interventional procedures.

Article Synopsis
- Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex surgery, especially when dealing with vascular structures and tumors in patients who have had previous surgeries like esophageal cancer reconstruction.
- The case presented involves a 76-year-old man with pancreatic head cancer and median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), who had previously undergone gastric tube reconstruction.
- This unique surgical procedure utilized advanced imaging techniques to preserve blood flow to critical arteries, ensuring the patient's vascular integrity during and after the operation.

True aneurysms of the pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) arcade are rare but require intervention due to the high risk of rupture. Historically, these aneurysms have been managed with open surgical methods. In this study, we describe a contemporary series of aneurysms treated using a modern approach that includes endovascular and hybrid techniques.
