Insights

We report a rare case of celiac artery aneurysm successfully treated with coil embolization. This approach offers a viable, single-session treatment option for complex aneurysms, ensuring good long-term outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Celiac artery aneurysms are rare vascular malformations.
  • Treatment options for celiac artery aneurysms include open surgical repair and endovascular embolization.

Observation:

  • A case of a complex and unusual celiac artery aneurysm is presented.
  • The aneurysm was successfully treated using embolization coil occlusion in a single session.

Findings:

  • Embolization coil occlusion is an effective treatment for celiac artery aneurysms.
  • This minimally invasive technique provides a good long-term outcome.

Implications:

  • Highlights the technical and clinical details of managing complex celiac artery aneurysms.
  • Supports endovascular embolization as a primary treatment modality for selected cases.
  • Offers a valuable reference for clinicians managing rare vascular pathologies.
