Gastroduodenal artery aneurysm

False in Name Only-Gastroduodenal Artery Pseudoaneurysm in a Recurrently Bleeding Patient: Case Report and Literature Review

Although the diagnosis of visceral pseudoaneurysm is unusual, it requires emergent attention due to the risk of rupture. We describe a 70-year-old man with a gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm that manifested as recurrent hemorrhage. We highlight the possible etiologies, clinical presentations, diagnostic tools, and treatment options for this condition. In this instance, the patient was successfully treated by selective angioembolization. A visceral pseudoaneurysm should be considered in patients with abdominal pain and GI hemorrhage. At present, angioembolization is a first-line therapy.

Endovascular salvage for contained rupture of gastroduodenal artery aneurysm presented with obstructive jaundice

Gastroduodenal artery (GDA) aneurysms are rare but lethal conditions when ruptures develop. Most common clinical presentation are gastrointestinal hemorrhage and abdominal pain. Obstructive jaundice is unusual. Computed tomography and angiography are useful tools for diagnosis and treatment plan. Any GDA aneurysm should be considered for definitive treatment. Recently, endovascular intervention has gained popularity for its safety and efficacy. Here, we described a patient of GDA pseudoaneurysm presented with generalized jaundice and was treated successfully with endovascular intervention.
