RESUMO
We detected Helicobacter cinaedi in 4 of 10 patients with infected aortic aneurysms diagnosed using blood or tissue culture in Aichi, Japan, during September 2017-January 2021. Infected aortic aneurysms caused by H. cinaedi had a higher detection rate and better results after treatment than previously reported, without recurrent infection.

Pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm can occur from occlusion or stenosis of the celiac artery due to arteriosclerosis or median arcuate ligament compression. The risk of rupture of the aneurysm is independent of the aneurysmal diameter. A 78-year-old woman presented with multiple large aneurysms of the anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery. To preserve arterial flow to the liver, bypass grafting from the supra-celiac aorta to the common hepatic artery was performed at first. Coil embolization was successfully performed 10 days later with a dual approach through both the superior mesenteric artery and bypass. It was considered that the combination of the aorto-hepatic bypass and coil embolization was effective for the pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms due to celiac artery occlusion.
