Embolization of Inferior Pancreaticoduodenal Artery Aneurysm with Celiac Stenosis or Occlusion: A Report of Three Cases and a Review of Literature
True pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms are relatively rare, approximately 50% of which are associated with stenosis or occlusion of the celiac axis. It is imperative to treat the condition immediately after diagnosis, considering that its rupture has a mortality rate of approximately 50%. The...

| Summary: | True pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms are relatively rare, approximately 50% of which
are associated with stenosis or occlusion of the celiac axis. It is imperative to treat the condition
immediately after diagnosis, considering that its rupture has a mortality rate of approximately
50%. The current most commonly used method to treat pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms
is transcatheter arterial embolization. Here, we report three cases of embolization of inferior
pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm with celiac stenosis or occlusion along with a literature
review. |
