Abstract:
Gastroduodenal artery aneurysms are uncommon. The majority of them are false or pseudoaneurysms, often seen in the setting of inflammation, specifically with pancreatitis. True aneurysms of gastroduodenal artery are extremely rare. As risk for rupture is unrelated to size, any gastroduodenal artery aneurysm should be considered for definitive treatment once the diagnosis has been made. A successful case of surgical repair of true gastroduodenal artery aneurysm in a patient with liver cirrhosis is reported in this study.

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.
