Gastroduodenal artery aneurysm is a disease with low incidence that manifests in a nonspecific form in the majority of cases, which hinders initial diagnosis. Symptomatic cases may present with abdominal pains or hemorrhage secondary to rupture. In cases in which the aneurysm ruptures, prognosis is poor and mortality can reach 40%. Steps should therefore be taken to ensure early diagnosis and treatment. Although open surgical treatment is an option, over recent years there has been a growing trend to use endovascular techniques. This report describes a rare case of a young patient with a gastroduodenal artery who was successfully treated with endovascular techniques.
