| description | The aneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery (AGDA) is a rare, but potentially fatal vascular disease.
Chronic pancreatitis is considered to be the leading etiological cause. The most common complication
is rupture, which is accompanied by extremely high mortality, due to the rapidly occurring massive
blood loss.
In such situations, a high index of clinical suspicion, followed by urgent imaging diagnosis and active
treatment strategy in case of emergency can prevent a potentially fatal outcome.
In the following paper, we present a case of a successfully treated ruptured aneurysm of the
gastroduodenal artery(AGDA), that started with minor gastrointestinal bleeding. Endoscopic
hemostasis was attempted, followed by an episode of massive recurrent bleeding, requiring emergency
operation.
A brief literature review, related to the diagnosis and treatment of this rare, but fatal complication of
AGDA, is also presented. |
