Abstract

We present a case of gastroduodenal artery stenting in a patient with recurrent episodes of pancreatitis due to gastroduodenal artery aneurysm. Stenting was performed under local anesthesia using a 6 × 38-mm primary covered Advanta V12 vascular stent graft. The procedure was successful and the patient is asymptomatic 21 months later. Endovascular treatment of gastroduodenal artery aneurysm should be considered a promising alternative to open surgery, due to lower mortality and morbidity.
