Isolated dissection of the celiac artery is rare. Celiac artery dissection is not the same as, but can be accompanied by celiac artery aneurysm.

@aas, have you been diagnosed with celiac artery dissection? What treatment is being offered?

Hi Colleen, Yes I have been diagnosed with a celiac artery dissection, at the junction of the aorta and the celiac trunk. It was discovered on a ct scan, that I had for other diagnostic reasons. I was referred to a vascular surgeon.At the moment, has advised a bi-annual monitoring of the size. I went for an ultrasound as a follow up in June, but unfortunately they were not able to get a clear image. I’m in the process of scheduling another ct shortly. I’m currently and have been asymptotic.
