A case of aneurysm of the pancreaticoduodenal artery is reported. Its differences from false aneurysms of the same artery are defined. The use of CT as a screening instrument and angiography as the definitive diagnostic tool is suggested to avoid undue delay in corrective treatment.

As a blood flow control technique for embolization using glue (n-butyl cyanoacrylate; NBCA) for peripheral artery aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm, we placed a vascular plug or coils at the proximal inflow vessel before glue injection. We describe this maneuver, which we call the glue in lockdown technique. Four peripheral aneurysms-two pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms, one pancreaticoduodenal arcade pseudoaneurysm, and one internal iliac artery aneurysm-deemed unsuitable for conventional embolization because of abnormal blood flow, coagulopathy, or anatomical complexity were embolized with our technique.

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.

Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm (IPDA) with the stenosis of the celiac axis is rare and may cause rupture. A unique etiology of IPDAs with celiac stenosis is median arcuate ligament syndrome. These aneurysms develop as a result of the dilation of the arteries from the retrograde blood flow into the pancreaticoduodenal arches because of celiac artery compression by the median arcuate ligament.

Pancreaticoduodenal Artery Aneurysm in a Patient with Celiac Artery Atresia.

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.

Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare condition characterized by nonspecific symptoms, such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Furthermore, the development and rupture of pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms pose a potentially fatal risk. Median arcuate ligament release (MALR) is useful in the treatment of MALS, with most procedures performed laparoscopically.
