Objectives: Many pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysms are associated with celiac artery (CA) stenosis. The pathogenesis of PDA aneurysm may be associated with hemodynamic changes due to CA stenosis/occlusion. The aim of this study was to assess the hemodynamic changes of celiaco-mesenteric anastomosis in patients with PDA aneurysms Concomitant with CA occlusion using four-dimensional flow-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (4D-Flow). %26lt;br%26gt;Methods: 4D-Flow was performed preoperatively on five patients. Seven age- and sex-matched individuals were used as controls. Hemodynamic parameters such as flow volume and maximum flow velocity in PDAs, gastroduodenal arteries, common hepatic arteries, and superior mesenteric arteries were compared between both groups. Wall shear stress (WSS) and oscillatory shear index (OSI) were mapped in both groups. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: In the patient group, 4D-Flow identified retrograde flow of both gastroduodenal arteries and common hepatic arteries. Heterogeneous distribution patterns of both WSS and OSI were identified across the entire PDA in the patient group. OSI mapping showed multiple regions with extremely high OSI values (OSI %26gt; 0.3) in all patients. All PDA aneurysms, which were surgically resected, were atherosclerotic. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusions: 4D-Flow identified hemodynamic changes in celiaco-mesenteric arteries in patients with PDA aneurysms with concomitant CA occlusion. These hemodynamic changes may be associated with PDA aneurysm formation.
