Hi @kariulrich,

We have a fairly recent discussion on Celiac Artery Aneurysm; is there any connection between MALS and celiac artery aneurysms?

No there should not be a connection between the two.

They are different. MALS comes from a blockage from pressure from the mediun arcuate ligamate, but left untreated, it can cause an aneurysm.
