AI Article Synopsis
- Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) causes the celiac artery to narrow due to ligament compression, which can lead to pancreatoduodenal artery aneurysms (PDAA) from altered blood flow.
- A case study detailed the treatment of a ruptured PDAA using coil embolization, but a second rupture occurred four years later, requiring additional reembolization.
- This report highlights a unique instance of a second PDAA rupture in a MALS patient, along with a review of relevant literature and other similar cases.
Article Abstract
Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) involves narrowing of the celiac artery root from MAL compression, leading to pancreatoduodenal artery aneurysm (PDAA) due to increased retrograde blood flow from the superior mesenteric artery into the PDA. We encountered a case in which coil embolization was performed for PDAA rupture due to MALS. Four years later, a second PDAA occurred and ruptured, necessitating coil reembolization. There have been no reports of recurrence during long-term follow-up after PDAA treatment in patients with MALS. We herein report a rare case of metachronous PDAA rupture in the context of MALS. The relevant literature and 11 PDAA/MALS cases are discussed.

Technical Guidelines for Safe Mesojejunum Dissection During Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Unveiling Critical Techniques in a Complex Procedure.

Background: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex procedure involving the dissection of the superior mesenteric artery and vein. However, a safe and standardized technique for dissecting the jejunal veins (JVs) in the mesojejunum during PD remains elusive.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 198 patients who underwent open PD with mesojejunum dissection using an anterior artery-first approach and evaluated anatomical variations in the first JV trunk (FJVT) and its tributaries.

Objectives: Few data are reported in literature about visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs) management. The aim of the present study was to analyze VAAs management in a single institution, with a dedicated algorithm for endovascular approach as the first line treatment.
Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study was performed.
Total Venous Control and Vein-to-the-Right Superior Mesenteric Artery Approach in Robotic Pancreatoduodenectomy.
Ann Surg Oncol

Department of Surgical Oncology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, USA.
Background: Robotic pancreatoduodenectomy is an increasingly accepted alternative for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the ability to perform a meticulous robotic-assisted superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection to obtain a margin-negative resection remains unknown. PDAC within the head of the pancreas (HOP) that involves the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and portal vein (PV) requires total venous control (TVC) and a 'vein-to-the-right' (or anterior artery-first) approach to SMA dissection to minimize venous congestion and operative blood loss.
