Celiac-trunk Aneurysm

Celiac-trunk aneurysm is focal dilatation of the celiac artery, often atherosclerotic or mycotic. It is usually asymptomatic and found incidentally, but may rupture. Treatment: control BP; monitor size; endovascular embolization or surgical repair for large (>2 cm), symptomatic, mycotic, or ruptured aneurysms; assess mesenteric collateral circulation before intervention.

Common Symptoms

Asymptomatic; abdominal pain; rupture risk; by atherosclerotic/mycotic

Causes and Pathogenesis

Atherosclerosis/infection causes focal dilatation with rupture risk.

Treatment

Monitor; embolize/resect large/symptomatic/mycotic/ruptured; assess mesenteric collaterals

Preventive Measures

Control atherosclerosis; treat infection; repair before rupture.
