Celiac Artery Aneurysm: Anyone else with same illness?

Mine is only 11 mm, which is much smaller than 1.4 cm. However, the vascular surgeon says if it gets any larger at all, I will need surgery. I asked him if he has ever performed this kind of operation, & he said "no". So I have another CT in 6 months, & if it is any larger, I'm gonna look into UT Southwestern in Dallas.They have a lot of vascular surgeons there, & maybe one of them has performed this operation. Dallas is 3 hrs away, & I've been there several times to a GI doc, & she and everyone else we came into contact with UTSW were all just amazing!

I saw my vascular surgeon yesterday. My celiac aneurysm is at 1.3 mm. Slightly larger from 1.24 cm. Will check again in 6 months. She says if it got to be 1.5 cm they would start to talk about repair. I wish I had never known it was there. Good luck with finding a good doctor. From my research, the celiac aneurysm is much more difficult to repair because of all the veins coming off of it. I will try to tune it out for six months and forget about it.
