Core Tip
Core tip: Approximately 60% of patients with pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms presented with rupture have an attending mortality rate of 50%. With the development of the device and techniques, transcatheter arterial embolotherapy has decreased the mortality to as low as 0%. Therefore, early detection and treatment is necessary to improve prognosis of the case.
