Resection of a Large Celiac Trunk Aneurysm Followed by Cadaveric Graft Reconstruction - A Case Report

Celiac artery aneurysms represent rare eventualities which remain symptomatic for a long period of time; however, once diagnosed, it should be carefully monitored due to the high risk of developing life-threatening complications. When it comes to the types of therapeutic strategies, both endovascular and surgical therapies can be taken in consideration.

Depending on the patency of the collateral network, simple ligation or graft placement should be performed. The aim of the current paper is to report the case of a patient diagnosed with a celiac trunk aneurysm who was successfully submitted to resection in association with iliac graft placement between the abdominal aorta and the common hepatic artery.

Whenever celiac artery aneurysm is diagnosed, it should be closely monitored and treated, resection and reconstruction being a feasible method in order to avoid the development of a life-threatening complication.
