Celiac Artery Aneurysm: Anyone else with same illness?

I have been told it has to reach 2 cm. Different doctors different ideas. I am wondering if it can stay the same size for many years

If so and surgery isn’t done are we at risk of rupture? Many questions. It is good to hear input

I have spoken to several doctors and have read an enormous amount about our rare condition. My take away is that we are at risk of rupture which could be catastrophic. However , likelihood of rupture of a small anureysm is extremely low. I have heard and read that repair is not recommended until it reaches 1.4 cm or more.

It is uneasy having the condition so I am having checked periodically.
