  • Title: Transcatheter arterial embolization for large pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm with mechanically detachable coils.
    Author: Shibata T, Fujimoto Y, Jin MJ, Hiraoka M.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2004; 27(2):169-71. PubMed ID: 15259816.
    Abstract:
    Large aneurysms (5.5 and 3.6 cm in diameter) arising from the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery located just near the main superior mesenteric artery were incidentally diagnosed in two patients. Transcatheter arterial embolization, packing mechanically detachable coils and microcoils into the aneurysms, was performed while the inflated balloon catheter was placed near the neck of the aneurysms. The procedures were successfully performed and no aneurysmal rupture or bowel ischemia was noted during follow-up. Balloon-assisted transcatheter arterial embolization with mechanically detachable coils seems to be an effective and safe treatment for large inferior pancreaticoduodenal aneurysms.
