Summary

Aneurysms of the gastroduodenal artery are very rare. We present the case of a 51-year-old female with an asymptomatic gastroduodenal artery aneurysm which was discovered by means of arteriography. The patient was surgically treated by proximal and distal ligation of the gastroduodenal artery and partial resection of the aneurysm. Preoperative and postoperative arteriograms are shown. Seven months after the operation the patient remains asymptomatic. We comment on and review other cases in the English language literature.
