AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2006 Sep;187(3):W290-8. doi: 10.2214/AJR.04.1726.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of our study was to assess the efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization for pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms.

Conclusion: We concluded that transcatheter arterial embolization is the initial and definitive therapeutic choice for pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms, with a possible option to perform surgery after embolization.
