I am new to this Mayo site, and happy to find this subject Celiac Artery Aneurysm! I'm 61 and have BEEN very healthy and active! Diagnosed in Feb with the Celiac here at Mayo Scottsdale after unusual high blood pressure. I'm concerned reading the sizes here: @randy1950: Dr "says if it got to be 1.5 cm they would start to talk about repair." I am in the wait and see period and these scans were my first showing 5 aneurysms (I thought most concerning from dr. notes, "Mild-moderate ascending aorta dilatation (diameter 41 mm at mid level). And much worry about the brain aneurysm, since my only health symptom has been headaches! Anyway, to keep on the topic here, my report says, "Mild ectasia of both common iliac arteries. Maximum diameter of the left common iliac
artery is 16 mm. Diameter of the right common iliac artery is 15 mm." I have a Neuro CT again 3mths from diagnosis- end of July, but no mention of the Iliac and incidentally renal also. Anyone else out there suspected of a Connective Tissue Disorder?
And yes to others also, life changing! These strong blood pressure meds slow life way down, which is a must, to avoid rupture. And will not be able to run, and even afraid yoga gets heartrate up too much. Anyway, just curious about those who have had stents or procedures, as no mention on my end of that yet, and at what size they did surgery for Iliac? Grateful to have found this, and sending healing vibes to all!! Janet
