We report a case of inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms with chronic occlusion of the celiac artery. A 47-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because an epigastric hypo echoic mass was detected by abdominal ultrasonography during a screening examination. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed two aneurysms at the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery and total occlusion of the celiac artery. First, we performed bypass grafting from the left renal artery to the splenic artery using retroperitoneal approach. Second, we performed coil embolization of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery using interventional radiology techniques. The aneurysms were occluded, and no splanchnic circulatory disturbance occurred.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
