A minimally invasive approach for management of pancreaticoduodenal artery and gastroduodenal artery aneurysm with celiac artery occlusion

Abstract

Management of pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms (PDAAs) and gastroduodenal artery aneurysms (GDAAs) with concomitant celiac occlusion represents a challenging clinical scenario. Here, we describe a 62-year-old female with PDAA and GDAA complicated by celiac artery occlusion due to median arcuate ligament syndrome. We used a staged, minimally invasive approach consisting of: (1) a robotic median arcuate ligament release; (2) endovascular celiac artery stenting; and (3) visceral aneurysm coiling. The findings from this case report represent a novel treatment strategy for the management of PDAA/GDAA with celiac artery compression secondary to median arcuate ligament syndrome.
