Celiac Artery Aneurysm: Anyone else with same illness?

I've been living with mine for several years, It's pretty small 1.2 cm and I have no symptoms. They have me do a CT scan every year to see if it is growing but other than that it's wait and see. Many of us are in that "to small" to fix it category. Many other like yourself have associated symptoms that in my opinion are a good enough reason to do something to fix it. It's frustrating for sure. I think finding the right doctor is key but that is difficult when these are such rare occurrences. Good luck and you are not alone.

Your situation is similar to mine ( even the aneurysm size ) and typical for members of the group. I am just beginning to experience some digestive issues nothing that isn't manageable. Finding a vascular surgeon familiar with the diagnosis to monitor and repair if necessary is an issue for most of us.
