If I can interject here. I had a cat scan done for a heart valve issue. The doctor said that I was going to be transferred to a trauma hospital because you have a torn celiac artery aneurysm. Like you said. It’s very rare.

When I got to the trauma hospital the cardiovascular surgeon acknowledged it but I forgot to ask him how big it was. He said that it wasn’t bleeding so they felt it was ok to discharge me with a torn but not bleeding celiac aneurysm.
He told me to see my own cardiovascular surgeon which I did. Well my cardiovascular surgeon said that he didn’t see anything even though he’s been monitoring yearly. He was annoyed and rushed out of the exam room. Last week I had 2 MRI’s, 2 cat scans and a few regular X-RAYS and said nothing but my ENT saw it and told me it was at 3.7 with a tear in it. I was seeing an ENT for a paralyzed right vocal cord.
He suggested I see my cardiovascular surgeon and that surgeon said that 10 years ago my aneurysm was at 1.7 and it’s still at 1.7. I said great. A few months go by and that’s how I found it to be at 3. 7 cm with a small tear in it. My ENT found it even though I was going to him for a paralyzed vocal cord. He found the torn Aneurysm looking for something else. He found it by accident. What now? One sends me to a trauma hospital and he said that since it wasn’t bleeding. I could be discharged and follow up with my annoyed doctor. Well there is a difference between a 1.7 torn aneurysm and a 3.7 torn aneurysm! I don’t know what to do other than find another surgeon.
