Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment of unruptured pancreatic arcade aneurysms in a single-center series. MATERIALS AND METHODS The electronic medical records of patients who underwent endovascular treatment for unruptured pancreatic arcade aneurysms between 2011 and 2022 at our tertiary center were retrospectively reviewed. The presence of celiac artery stenosis/occlusion; aneurysm number, location, and size; endovascular technique; procedure-related complication incidence; and clinical outcomes were assessed. RESULTS Twenty-three patients (12 men and 11 women; mean [range] age, 63.8 [45-84] years) with 33 unruptured pancreatic arcade aneurysms were identified. Celiac artery stenosis/occlusion coexisted in 17 (74%) patients. Five (21%) patients had multiple aneurysms. The median aneurysm size was 9.3 mm (range, 4-18 mm). Seven, 6, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2 aneurysms were located in the gastroduodenal, dorsal pancreatic, anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal, inferior pancreaticoduodenal, posterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal, posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal, and anterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries, respectively. Four (15%) and 22 (85%) aneurysms were treated with endosaccular packing alone and coil embolization with endosaccular packing and parent artery occlusion, respectively, with resulting exclusion from arterial circulation. The remaining 7 aneurysms coexisting with larger aneurysms in other peripancreatic arteries were observed without embolization because they were small and for preserving collateral blood flow to the celiac artery. The treated aneurysms did not rupture or recur during the follow-up period (median, 40 months). CONCLUSION Endovascular treatment is a safe and effective treatment for unruptured pancreatic arcade aneurysms. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3, non-controlled retrospective cohort study.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy after postoperative gastric tube reconstruction for esophageal cancer with median arcuate ligament syndrome: a case report. Surg Case Rep 2024; 10:176. [PMID: 39073633 PMCID: PMC11286890 DOI: 10.1186/s40792-024-01974-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is considered a challenging surgery for resecting the gastroduodenal artery (GDA), right gastric artery (RGA), and lymph node tumors. In cases of pancreatic head cancer surgery, vascular anastomosis or right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA)/GDA preservation is necessary after postoperative gastric tube reconstruction for esophageal cancer. Therefore, we report for the first time an extremely rare case of PD in a patient with pancreatic head cancer and median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) after gastric tube reconstruction following esophageal cancer surgery, in which the entire pancreatic head arcade was preserved. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 76-year-old man who had undergone esophageal cancer surgery after sternal gastric tube reconstruction 7 years ago. He was referred to our hospital because of the suspicion of intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC) owing to an enlarged cystic lesion and a substantial component in the uncinate process of the pancreas. Preoperative three-dimensional computed (3D-CT) tomography angiography showed celiac axis stenosis and pancreatic head arcade dilation. The diagnosis was IPMC without evidence of invasion; therefore, gastric tube blood flow was maintained by preserving the GDA and RGEA. Due to MALS, the GDA blood flow was supplied through the pancreatic head arcade, necessitating its preservation. The GDA-RGEA, right gastroepiploic vein, and anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery were taped over the entire pancreatic head for preservation. The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPDA) was also taped on the dorsal pancreas and the posterior or anterior IPDA, which further bifurcates were taped to preserve them. Subsequently, PD was performed. CONCLUSION We report a case of PD after gastric tube reconstruction for esophageal cancer with MALS, in which the pancreatic head arcade vessels were successfully preserved using 3D-CT to confirm the operation of the vessels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite being rare, pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms (PDAAs) carry a risk of rupture of up to 50% and are frequently associated with coeliac artery occlusion. METHODS PubMed and Embase databases were searched using appropriate terms. The systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. RESULTS We present the case of a 2 cm pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm pre-operative angiography demonstrated that the coeliac artery was occluded and the pancreaticoduodenal artery was providing collateral blood supply to the liver. Treatment was a staged hybrid intervention inclusive of an aorto-hepatic bypass using a 6 mm graft, followed by coil embolisation of the aneurysm. We also present a systematic review of the management of PDAAs. Two hundred and ninety-two publications were identified initially with 81 publications included in the final review. Of the 258 peripancreatic aneurysms included, 175 (61%) were associated with coeliac artery disease either occlusion or stenosis. Abdominal pain was the main presentation in 158 cases. Rupture occurred in 111 (40%) of patients with only ten (3.8%) cases being unstable on presentation. Fifty (18%) cases were detected incidentally while investigating another pathology. Over half the cases (n=141/54.6%) were treated by trans arterial embolisation (TAE) alone, while 37 cases had open surgery only. Twenty-one cases needed TAE and a coeliac stent. Seventeen cases underwent hybrid treatment (open and endovascular). Sixteen cases were treated conservatively and in 26 cases, treatment was not specified. CONCLUSION PDAAs are commonly associated with coeliac artery disease. The most common presentation is pain followed by rupture. The scarcity of literature about true peripancreatic artery aneurysms associated with CA occlusive disease makes it difficult to assess the natural history or the appropriate treatment. Revascularisation of hepatic artery is better done with bypass in setting of median arcuate ligament compression and occluded celiac trunk.

Abstract
Pancreaticoduodenal and gastroduodenal artery aneurysms (PDAAs and GDAAs) are rare visceral aneurysms. Considering the rupture risk regardless of size, treatment should be provided promptly. We reviewed the characteristics and management of peripancreatic aneurysms in a retrospective, single-center review of consecutive patients with PDAAs and GDAAs between 2000 and 2022. Demographics, clinical characteristics, radiologic features, treatment, and outcomes were recorded. Nineteen PDAAs and seven GDAAs were identified in 24 patients. The median sizes of the PDAAs and GDAAs were 21 mm (range: 8-50 mm) and 14 mm (range: 11-32 mm), respectively. There were 4 ruptured cases (15.4%). Ten aneurysms (38.5%) had concomitant visceral aneurysms, and 16 (61.6%) were associated with celiac pathology. Aneurysms were managed using endovascular in 12 (46.2%), surgical in 4 (15.4%), and combined methods in 3 (11.5%) cases; 7 patients (26.9%) were lost to follow-up or refused treatments. During a median 13.8-month follow-up (range: 1-147.6), two complications (7.7%) occurred including pancreatitis and coil migration into the superior mesenteric artery after embolization within 30 days. After 30 days, aorto-common hepatic artery bypass graft stenosis was identified in one PDAA. Depending on the characteristics of peripancreatic aneurysms, endovascular, surgical, and hybrid approaches might all be practical treatment options.

A Large Series of True Pancreaticoduodenal Artery Aneurysms. J Vasc Surg 2022; 75:1634-1642.e1. [PMID: 35085750 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2022.01.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION True pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms (PDAA) are rare and prior reports often fail to distinguish true aneurysms from pseudoaneuryms. We sought to characterize all patients who presented to our health-system from 2004-2019 with true PDAA, with a focus on risk factors, interventions, and patient outcomes. METHODS Patients were identified by querying a single health-system PACS database for radiographic reports noting a PDAA. Retrospective chart review was performed on all identified patients. Patients with pseudoaneurysm, identified as those with a history of pancreatitis, abdominal malignancy, hepatopancreaticobiliary surgery, or abdominal trauma, were excluded. Continuous variables were compared using t-tests, and categorical variables were compared using Fisher's exact tests. RESULTS A total of 59 true PDAA were identified. Forty aneurysms (68%) were intact (iPDAA) and 19 (32%) were ruptured (rPDAA) at presentation. Mean size of ruptured PDAA was 16.4 mm (median size 14.0 mm; range 10 - 42 mm) and mean size of intact PDAA was 19.4 mm (median size 17.5mm; range 8 - 88 mm), this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.95). Significant celiac disease (occlusion or >70% stenosis) was noted in 39 aneurysms (66%). Those with rupture were less likely to have significant celiac disease (42% vs 78%, P=0.017), and less likely to have aneurysmal wall calcifications (6% vs 53%, P=0.002). Thirty-seven patients underwent intervention (63%); with eight (22%) undergoing concomitant hepatic revascularization (2 stents and 6 bypasses) due to the presence of celiac disease. Eighteen patients with occluded celiac arteries underwent aneurysm intervention; of those, 11 were performed without hepatic revascularization (61.1%). Those with rPDAA experienced an aneurysm related mortality of 10.5% while those with iPDAA experienced a rate of 5.6%. One patient with celiac occlusion and PDA rupture who did not undergo hepatic artery bypass expired postoperatively from hepatic ischemia. Ruptured PDAA showed a trend towards increased need for aneurysm-related endovascular or open reintervention, but this was not statistically significant (47% vs 28%, P=0.13). CONCLUSIONS These findings support previous reports that the rupture risk of PDAA is independent of size, their development is often associated with significant celiac stenosis or occlusion, and rupture risk appears decreased in patients with concomitant celiac disease or aneurysm wall calcifications. Endovascular intervention is the preferred initial treatment for both intact and ruptured PDAAs, but reintervention rates are high in both groups. The role for hepatic revascularization remains uncertain, but it does not appear to be mandatory in all patients with complete celiac occlusion who undergo PDAA interventions.

Abstract
Pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms (PDAA) are rare and represent a small fraction of known visceral aneurysms. We describe a case of a 79-year-old male with an 82 mm PDAA in the setting of chronic celiac artery occlusion. The patient was treated with an open repair. Due to the large size of the aneurysm and the dense adhesions to the surrounding tissues, vascular control of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was achieved by endovascular balloon occlusion and the aneurysm repaired with resection and primary aneurysmorrhaphy. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course.

Abstract
Hemorrhage due to a ruptured pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm is potentially fatal. We describe a case of a 51-year-old man, incidentally diagnosed with an inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm associated with probable congenital hypoplasia of the celiac axis and its branches. Considering the rupture risk, we performed an ilio-hepatic artery bypass with an autologous vein graft and aneurysmorrhaphy. The postoperative course was uneventful. At the 24-month follow-up, the bypass was patent, with no aneurysm recurrence. The ilio-hepatic artery bypass is effective and preserves visceral blood flow. However, the iliac artery is susceptible to occlusive disease, and long-term follow-up is required.

Abstract
We report successful surgical treatment of inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm combined with celiac trunk occlusion. Considering angioarchitectonics of the afferent and efferent arteries (significant tortuosity), possible liver ischemia during endovascular occlusion of pancreaticoduodenal artery and expected low efficiency of embolization, the patient underwent open surgery (celiac trunk replacement and resection of pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm). Postoperative period was uneventful. The first and subsequent postoperative controls showed an adequate function of the prosthesis and no contrast enhancement of the aneurysm. We concluded that rational surgical approach ensured optimal solution of the problem, i.e. surgical treatment of pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm was the most radical and functional.

Abstract
A case of Pancreatoduodenal Artery Aneurism rupture post colonoscopy. A rare entity that can be adequately treated with endovascular intervention. First report of rupture related to colonoscopy.
Introduction Complications related to colonoscopy is considered low and in most cases involves intestinal perforation. Vascular complications involving aneurysm rupture are rare in the literature and may occur after colonoscopy. Presentation of the case We report a case of a 58-year-old male patient that ruptured pancreatoduodenal artery aneurysm after colonoscopy, successfully submitted to endovascular treatment. Discussion Colonoscopy is frequently used as a diagnostic procedure. The risk of complication inherent to the procedure is considered low, and intestinal perforation is one of the most frequent. Other complications may present similar clinical symptoms, and it is necessary to complement the diagnostic investigation to offer the most appropriate treatment for the patient. Among the complications, there is one report of aneurysm rupture after performing colonoscopies and no case involving aneurysm rupture of pancreatoduodenal artery has been reported to date. Conclusion A patient with ruptured pancreatoduodenal artery aneurysm is a rare entity that can be adequately treated with endovascular intervention. This is the first report of rupture related to colonoscopy.

Abstract
Here we describe a hybrid procedure, that is, a combination of open isolation and coil embolization, to treat a saccular middle colic artery aneurysm deep behind the pancreas. The middle colic artery provided the collateral blood flow necessary to bypass a chronic segmental aortic occlusion. For preservation of the collateral vessels, we surgically excluded and bypassed the aneurysm and then performed endovascular embolization of the pancreaticoduodenal arteries flowing into the aneurysm, resulting in complete isolation of the aneurysm without jeopardizing blood flow. This hybrid procedure for visceral artery aneurysms can be effective when the collateral vessels need to be preserved.

Abstract
We herein report a case with aneurysm rupture in the arc of Bühler (AOB) caused by median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS). The patient experienced a sudden onset of upper abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed an iso- to hyper-enhancing area mainly ranging from the dorsal aspect of the pancreatic head to the retroperitoneum around the right kidney. Abdominal angiography revealed marked stenosis in the origin of the celiac artery caused by MALS and a 7-mm saccular aneurysm in the AOB. Thus, we diagnosed the pain as having been caused by aneurysm rupture in the AOB due to MALS. The patient's symptoms and anemia also improved to normal range without surgery. Careful follow-up, considering possible recurrence of aneurysm at other sites in the future, is essential.

Abstract
Compression of the celiac axis by the median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm can cause nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and weight loss. There is a known association between stenosis or occlusion of the celiac trunk and aneurysms of the pancreaticoduodenal artery. Treatment strategies for patients who have this association should be selected on a case-by-case basis. We describe the case of a patient with pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm associated with compression of the celiac trunk by the arcuate ligament, which were managed with endovascular and laparoscopic techniques, respectively.

Abstract
Introduction True aneurysms of peripancreatic arterial arcades (PAAAs) coexisting with celiac axis lesion are often asymptomatic. However, they may rupture regardless of their size and cause life-threatening hypovolemia. No treatment guidelines exist to date. We present a series of 21 patients and our management algorithm. Material and Methods For ruptured aneurysms we preformed endovascular embolization. Further treatment was dependent on patient's condition and control studies. In case of unruptured aneurysms, we assessed collateral circulation between superior mesenteric artery and celiac axis in angio-CT. If there was a pathway free from aneurysms, endovascular approach was chosen. Otherwise, surgical or combined treatment was favored. Results Endovascular treatment was performed in 14 patients with no complications. Follow-up studies revealed incomplete occlusion of the aneurysms in two cases. Surgical or combined treatment was performed in 7 patients with three serious perioperative complications. They were managed conservatively in two cases and surgically in one. Follow-up studies showed aneurismal dilatation and stenosis of a renohepatic by-pass in one case. Conclusion We present our management algorithm of PAAAs. Our results support the leading role of endovascular treatment. We present its limitations favoring surgical or combined treatment. All patients should be carefully followed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gastroduodenal artery aneurysms (GDAAs) and pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms (PDAAs) are uncommon lesions associated, however, with a significant risk of rupture. This study describes the clinical presentation, associated imaging findings, and operative strategies for these aneurysms. METHODS The records of all patients with GDAAs or PDAAs identified through an institutional database by axial imaging between 1994 and 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Data on presenting symptoms, comorbid conditions, imaging findings, and outcomes after operative intervention were collected and examined. RESULTS We identified 11 GDAAs and 25 PDAAs in 35 patients. Mean size of the GDAAs was 31.1 mm (range, 10-60 mm) and mean size of the PDAAs was 19.1 mm (range, 10-48 mm). At presentation, 13 aneurysms (36%) were symptomatic and seven aneurysms (19.4%) were ruptured. Median size of ruptured aneurysms was 20 mm (range, 10-60 mm). On axial imaging, 24 aneurysms (67%) were associated with a severe stenosis or occlusion of the celiac axis origin, and 11 aneurysms (31%) were thought to be associated with compression of the celiac axis in the setting of median arcuate ligament syndrome. Twenty-four aneurysms (67%) underwent repair. Of these aneurysms, 18 (75%) were successfully managed with primary endovascular repair (coil embolization with or without celiac stent), whereas endovascular therapy failed in two (8%) and required open repair. Four aneurysms (17%) were treated with primary open repair. Overall 30-day morbidity and mortality after aneurysm repair were 29% and 4%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS GDAAs and PDAAs are uncommon lesions that are often associated with a celiac axis stenosis/occlusion leading to altered hemodynamics in the pancreaticoduodenal arcade. These aneurysms are prone to rupture regardless of size, and intervention is accordingly recommended for all aneurysms upon recognition. Despite the concordant celiac axis obstruction and concern for maintenance of hepatic circulation, endovascular repair of these aneurysms is generally successful and should be considered as the initial operative approach.

Abstract
IPDA aneurysms associated with coeliac axis occlusion are rare. Management includes radiologically guided endovascular approach or surgical repair. Given mortalities of greater than 50% with rupture, intervention is indicated. We present a case of a surgical repair with a supra-coeliac aorto-hepatic bypass.
Introduction Inferior pancreatico-duodenal artery (IPDA) aneurysms are very rare and commonly associated with coeliac axis stenosis or occlusion due to atherosclerosis, thrombosis or median arcuate ligament syndrome. We present a case of a surgical repair of an IPDA aneurysm with the use of a supra-coeliac aorto-hepatic bypass with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft, following a failed initial attempt at an endovascular repair. Presentation A 75 year old female, who was under investigation for night sweats, was referred to our team with an incidental finding of a 19 mm fusiform IPDA aneurysm. Initial attempt at endovascular coiling of the aneurysm was unsuccessful. Elective surgical repair involved excision of the aneurysm and to restore arterial inflow to the hepatic artery, a PTFE bypass graft was used from the supra-coeliac aorta to the hepatic artery. The patient was well 2 months following the procedure with a patent graft shown on contrast enhanced computer tomography (ceCT). Discussion Management options for IPDA aneurysms include radiologically guided endovascular approach or surgical repair. Given the high mortality of greater than 50% with ruptured aneurysms intervention is indicated in all detected cases. Conclusion Surgical excision with bypass grafting from the supra-coeliac aorta, as reported by our team, represents a satisfactory management option in patients where interventional approaches have failed or are not appropriate.

Abstract
Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a systemic, necrotizing vasculitis of small- and medium-sized arteries typically with multiorgan involvement. Most cases of PAN are idiopathic, although hepatitis B or C virus infections and hairy cell leukemia are important in the pathogenesis of some cases. PAN is characterized as segmental transmural inflammation of muscular arteries. Diagnosis is based on clinical suspicion, a negative immunofluorescence test for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, and whenever possible, biopsy conformation. Angiographic images may reveal microaneurysms affecting the renal, hepatic, or mesenteric vasculature. Aneurysmal formation and rupture are important complications that can be fatal. Treatment may warrant immunosuppression with steroids and cyclophosphamide. If left untreated, PAN can be fatal. To our knowledge, we report the second documented case of PAN-induced ruptured inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysms are rare, representing only 2% of all visceral artery aneurysms. True PDA aneurysms associated with celiac stenosis or occlusion make up an even smaller subset of this group. No relationship between aneurysm size and the likelihood of rupture of PDA aneurysms is apparent. PDA aneurysm rupture is associated with a mortality rate upwards of 50%; therefore, accepted practice is treatment upon diagnosis. There is debate in the literature on whether the treatment of coexisting celiac axis stenosis is necessary for the prevention of recurrence. DATA SOURCES Literature relating to PDA aneurysms associated with celiac stenosis or occlusion was identified by performing a PubMed keyword search. References from identified articles were also assessed for relevance. The current literature was then reviewed and summarized. CONCLUSIONS Characteristics of this patient population are identified. Based on current evidence, our best practice recommendation for the treatment of coexisting celiac axis stenosis is provided.

Abstract
Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms in association with celiac stenosis or occlusion are well described in the literature. These aneurysms are true aneurysms and develop as a result of increased flow through the pancreaticoduodenal arcades in the presence of hemodynamically significant stenosis of the celiac axis or common hepatic artery. Aneurysms may be multiple and rarely associated with aneurysms in other collateral pathways-such as the dorsal pancreatic artery or the arc of Buhler. These aneurysms may be incidentally detected or patients may present with abdominal pain or shock secondary to rupture of the aneurysms. Treatment options include surgical resection and transcatheter embolization; current literature favors the latter option. Treatment of celiac axis stenosis may be recommended in addition to treating the aneurysms; however, no formal guidelines exist on this recommendation.

Abstract
A 47-year-old woman complained of abdominal pain, and a computed tomography scan indicated compressive obstruction of the celiac axis and a 4-cm retropancreatic aneurysm. An angiogram identified the aneurysmal vessel as the posterior pancreaticoduodenal artery. All foregut structures were supplied by this aneurysmal vessel. Via an open approach, the inflow and outflow of the aneurysm were ligated, and blood flow to the celiac axis was reconstructed via a bypass from the supraceliac aorta. A follow-up scan indicated complete thrombosis of the aneurysm. The patient is now symptom free. Open reconstruction of the celiac axis is mandatory when ligation of a pancreaticoduodenal aneurysm results in foregut ischemia. Ligation and reconstruction can be done safely and effectively in the elective setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report our experience with percutaneous TAE of true IPDA aneurysms. BACKGROUND Most IPDA aneurysms are ruptured at presentation causing a high mortality risk. Minimally invasive treatment approaches may improve overall outcomes in such patients. METHODS Between 1996 and 2007, seven patients (5 Males; mean age 55 y) with symptomatic IPDA aneurysms and severe degree (>75%) celiac artery stenosis were treated with percutaneous TAE. The medical and imaging records were reviewed for demographics, clinical presentation, treatment, complications and follow-up. Patients presented with epigastric pain (7/7), hemodynamic shock (2/7) and rectal bleeding (2/7). Selective catheter angiography was performed in all patients with the intent to embolize the aneurysms. RESULTS A total of nine aneurysms were seen in seven patients. Two patients had two aneurysms each. The aneurysms ranged in size from 0.5 to 4.0 cm (mean 1.9 cm). Trans-catheter coil embolization was successful in 8/9 (89%) aneurysms in 6 patients. Following unsuccessful TAE of one aneurysm in one of the patient, the aneurysm was treated successfully with direct CT-guided percutaneous transabdominal injection of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. There were no complications on follow up. Angioplasty and stenting of the celiac artery were performed in one patient for complete occlusion. None of the patients developed clinical or imaging evidence of visceral ischemia following embolization. None had recurrent symptoms during clinical follow-up (median 3 years, range 0.5-13.5 years). Follow-up CT (Median 6.6 months, range 4 days-11.5 years) in all patients showed no recurrence of the aneurysm. CONCLUSION IPDA aneurysms associated with celiac axis stenosis can be successfully treated with percutaneous embolization with minimal recurrence.
