Management of pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms: results of superselective transcatheter embolization.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of our study was to assess the efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization for pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms.


CONCLUSIONS
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.
