Insights
Stent occlusion offers a safe and effective treatment for celiac arterial aneurysm (CAA). This method successfully achieved aneurysm obliteration and maintained artery patency in all patients, with no complications observed.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Celiac arterial aneurysm (CAA) is a rare condition requiring effective treatment.
- Stent occlusion presents a potential therapeutic option for CAA.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with celiac arterial aneurysm (CAA) treated with stent occlusion.
- To assess the safety and efficacy of stent occlusion for CAA.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 8 consecutive CAA patients treated with stent occlusion between March 2014 and September 2018.
- Placement of 8 stents (2 uncovered, 6 covered) in the celiac artery and/or common hepatic artery.
- Follow-up computed tomography (CT) at regular intervals (1, 3, 6, 12 months, then annually) to assess outcomes.
Main Results:
- 100% technical success rate with stent and distal artery patency.
- Complete obliteration of celiac arterial aneurysms (CAA) in all patients.
- No procedure-associated complications or visceral necrosis during a median follow-up of 39 months.
Conclusions:
- Stent occlusion is a safe and effective treatment for celiac arterial aneurysm (CAA).
- The procedure demonstrates high rates of aneurysm obliteration and sustained artery patency.
- This minimally invasive approach avoids complications like visceral necrosis.
Abstract:
This study aimed to detail the clinical outcomes of patients suffering from celiac arterial aneurysm (CAA) that underwent treatment via stent occlusion.This is a single-center, retrospective study. A total of 8 consecutive CAA patients were treated via stent occlusion from March 2014 to September 2018 at our hospital. Follow-up computed tomography was conducted after stenting at 1, 3, 6, and 12-month time points and every year thereafter. Both short- and long-term outcomes were assessed.In total, 8 stents were inserted into these 8 patients, with 2 being uncovered and 6 being covered stents. In 2 patients, stents were positioned in the celiac artery, while in the remaining 6 patients they were placed in the celiac and common hepatic arteries. The median operative duration was 66 minutes. No patients exhibited procedure-associated complications, and the median follow-up duration was 39 months (range: 18-72). Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT analyses of these patients exhibited stent and distal artery patency in 100% of patients, together with CAA obliteration. Visceral necrosis did not occur in any patients over the follow-up period.Stent occlusion can be safely and effectively used to treat CAA patients.
