  • Title: Endovascular treatment of gastroduodenal artery aneurysm.
    Author: Chong WW, Tan SG, Htoo MM.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2008 Jan; 16(1):68-72. PubMed ID: 18245712.
    Abstract:
    Gastroduodenal artery aneurysms are rare. Common causes include blunt trauma, pancreatitis, infection, autoimmune disorders, vascular intervention and surgery. We report 2 patients with gastroduodenal artery aneurysms, the first being an idiopathic true aneurysm and the next, a pseudoaneurysm resulting from pancreatitis. Diagnoses were made by computed tomography scans with successful embolization of both patients. Treatment of gastroduodenal artery aneurysms includes surgery, endovascular techniques or observation. Embolization is a feasible option for gastroduodenal artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms.
