Symptomatic Pancreaticoduodenal Artery Aneurysm in a Patient with Prior Aortic Surgery and Celiac Trunk Obstruction : Case Report

Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm (PDA) is a rare visceral aneurysm and represents 1.5% of all the visceral arterial aneurysms. An 81-year-old man was admitted with acute abdominal pain. He suffered 2 previous episodes of pancreatitis and underwent abdominal aortic aneurysm repair 11 years before. The computed tomography scan revealed a 92-mm aneurysm of inferior PDA artery with prerupture signs associated with the celiac trunk obstruction. The patient underwent a selective catheterization and embolization of superior PDA artery with coils, inferior PDA artery with 12-mm Amplatzer, and aneurysm sac embolization by Onyx and coils. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the fourth postoperative day. Celiac trunk stenosis could be one of the possible etiology but atherosclerosis and pancreatitis are the 2 most common risk factors. Treatment of choice is yet to be established and it has to be properly defined "case by case"; surgery, endovascular embolization, or percutaneous thrombin injection are valuable approaches.
