Understanding Vascular Anatomy is Key to Successful Endovascular Treatment of Pancreaticoduodenal Artery Aneurysms

抄録

Pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm (PDAA) is a rare disease without treatment guidelines. We present two patients with PDAA. The first patient was a 70-year-old man with a pseudoaneurysm in the anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (ASPDA), for which we achieved exclusion by endovascular coil embolization. The second patient was a 63-year-old woman with a PDAA in the ASPDA with celiac axis obstruction. Endovascular coil embolization of the aneurysm and the ASPDA was successful without visceral organ ischemia. Endovascular treatment is effective for PDAAs, but careful evaluation of collateral circulation is vital in PDAAs with celiac axis obstruction.
