ANEURYSMS OF PANCREATICODUODENAL ARTERY

Aneurysms of the smaller intra-abdominal blood vessels are hard to diagnose, difficult to treat, and associated with a high mortality. Two additional cases of pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms with gastrointestinal bleeding are presented. Selective aortography is probably the only way to make a specific diagnosis preoperatively. Therapy may prove to be very successful if early diagnosis can be made, preferably even before rupture of the aneurysm. © 1968.
