Celiac artery aneurysms (CAAs) are rare but potentially devastating lesions. Given the high rates of mortality on rupture at large sizes, they should be treated promptly with either surgical or endovascular interventions in appropriate-risk patients.

Description
Summary:Celiac artery aneurysms (CAAs) are rare but potentially devastating lesions. Given the high rates of mortality on rupture at large sizes, they should be treated promptly with either surgical or endovascular interventions in appropriate-risk patients. Several options exist for treatment, including surgical repair and endovascular embolization with or without stent or stent graft placement. Because of their rarity, there are few reports of successfully treated CAA lesions. Herein, we describe successful endovascular treatment of one of the largest CAAs reported in the literature.
