Abstract
Here we describe a hybrid procedure, that is, a combination of open isolation and coil embolization, to treat a saccular middle colic artery aneurysm deep behind the pancreas. The middle colic artery provided the collateral blood flow necessary to bypass a chronic segmental aortic occlusion. For preservation of the collateral vessels, we surgically excluded and bypassed the aneurysm and then performed endovascular embolization of the pancreaticoduodenal arteries flowing into the aneurysm, resulting in complete isolation of the aneurysm without jeopardizing blood flow. This hybrid procedure for visceral artery aneurysms can be effective when the collateral vessels need to be preserved.
