Title: Is Celiac Trunk Revascularization Necessary After High-Flow Pancreaticoduodenal Arterial Arcades Aneurysm Retrograde Embolization?

Background and Objective: High-flow pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysms secondary to celiac trunk occlusion or stenosis have a high risk of rupture. Embolization offers a less invasive alternative to surgery. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of retrograde embolization via the superio...

Description
Summary:Background and Objective: High-flow pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysms secondary to celiac trunk occlusion or stenosis have a high risk of rupture. Embolization offers a less invasive alternative to surgery. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of retrograde embolization via the superior mesenteric artery of high-flow PDA aneurysms without celiac trunk revascularization. Methods: This retrospective bicentric study included patients who underwent embolization of high-flow PDA aneurysms due to significant celiac trunk stenosis or occlusion. All patients underwent pre-interventional dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Retrograde embolization was performed using microcoils and/or liquid agents without celiac trunk revascularization. Follow up involved clinical and radiological assessment at one month. Technical and clinical success were evaluated, and complications were categorized as minor or major. Results: Twenty-three patients (mean age 65 ± 14 years; 52% male) were included. Emergency embolization was required in 12 patients (52%). The technical success rate was 100%. Patients were monitored for a median of 16 months. Clinical success was 87%. No hemorrhagic recurrences were observed. Minor complications occurred in two cases. One major complication involved splenic infarction due to glue migration, requiring splenectomy and intensive unit care admission. Conclusions: Retrograde embolization of high-flow PDA aneurysms is effective and safe without needing celiac trunk revascularization.
