Management of pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm associated with coeliac artery stenosis.

Pancreaticoduodenal and gastroduodenal artery aneurysms are rare but require early radiological or surgical intervention due to a high risk (61%) of rupture. A 71-year-old woman presented with an incidental 30-mm aneurysm arising from the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery associated with coeliac axis stenosis. She underwent embolisation of the pancreaticoduodenal aneurysm, but the coeliac axis stenosis was not amenable to radiological intervention. She remained well at six months of follow-up and a repeat computed tomography angiogram six months later reported stable appearances. The management of pancreaticoduodenal aneurysms is discussed.
