Celiac Artery Aneurysm: Anyone else with same illness?

Wow double aneurysms! I have the Celiac one. My vascular surgeon says operate at 1.5CM. Mine is 1.3CM. Discovered 6 months ago by accident at 1.24CM. Check with a CTA scan every 6 months. I was a avid bicycle rider and had a fall. Broke lots of ribs, shattered my clavicle and punctured my lung. Doc says the trauma may have also caused the aneurysm. I suggest finding a vascular Dr. or at least a cardiologist that knows what a celiac artery is. (mine didn't). Dallas is not too far for a checkup and if they know about your aneurysms they can fly you to Baylor before you check out, hopefully. I recommend Dr. Jay Vasquez Vascular surgeon. 214.821.9600 at Baylor Dallas. He is going to be my second opinion. I have had good reviews about him. I wish you good luck.
What I read is 5CM for operating on a AAA.

Thanks, Randy -
I’ve not been able to find a standard of information or treatment in terms of celiac aneurysms. I appreciate your thoughts, especially the mention of the surgeon in Dallas ... I’ll speak to my primary care physician to see if an appointment with the surgeon is a possibility.
Thanks also for your info regarding the size of aneurysms eligible for surgical intervention. I’ll be sure to inquire about that further with my doctor.
Best wishes!
