Yes. He must see a vascular surgeon. My doc was an interventional radiologist, and he was amazing. Truly saved my life. Both know what to do. This is not a gastroenterologist issue in any way. The celiac artery is the first large branch of the aorta and feeds several organs with blood. It’s not small and is not in any way related to the celiac issue you are dealing with. Don’t wait. Make the doctor look up what the celiac artery is. My PCP has never seen anyone with a celiac artery aneurysm. It is relatively rare. Let me know if you have more questions.
@mejustme, I believe you are correct. Your husband should be seen by a vascular surgeon, not a gastroenterologist. Demand that your husband's primary doctor send a referral to a vascular surgeon instead.
