Hello @khanni

As I see this is your first post on Mayo Clinic Connect, let me welcome you! You are wise to seek information and to get support from others. Any rare condition tends to cause stress. I have had a rare type of cancer and I drive about an hour to a well-known university medical school for my treatment.

We have other members who have this type of aneurysm, here is a link to that discussion, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/celiac-artery-aneurysm/. I would like to personally invite some of those members to join you in posting about their experiences. @henrya3, @kellyann75, @tallbeachbum, @auntbrenda44

In order for them to understand better about your situation, would you be willing to share the size of your aneurysm? Has your doctor prescribed any meds, such as blood pressure medications or has he/she given you any restrictions?

You are very wise to look for the best doctor possible to treat this. For rare disorders, of any type, multi-disciplinary medical centers are very good as they have a lot of research going on and they can treat the most difficult problems in the best way. As I mentioned earlier, in my own case, I drive about an hour to go to a university medical center and for another type of specialty surgery, I have driven 3.5 hours in order to find the best specialist.

Do you live near a university medical school or perhaps a facility like Mayo Clinic?
