Retrievable stent-assisted coiling technique using a solitaire stent: Treatment of pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm associated with celiac artery occlusion

Abstract

True aneurysm of pancreaticoduodenal arcade (PDA) is usually accompanied by stenosis or occlusion of celiac trunk (CeT). The up-to-date and first choice treatment modality of PDA aneurysm is the endovascular approach in nearly all cases except few selected ones necessitating surgery. The main approach in endovascular treatment is embolization of the aneurysm by preserving the parent artery. A case with concomitant CeT occlusion and PDA aneurysm was treated with coil embolization by preserving inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery with retrievable Solitaire((R)) stent. In our knowledge, this is the first case with PDA aneurysm treated with this technique.
