Celiac Artery Aneurysm: Anyone else with same illness?

Hey All, Last week I was diagnosed with the celiac aneurysm at 1.0 cm with dissection. As many others here, been a very worrisome time. Trying to find a Vascular Surgeon in my network has been a challenge. My issue started with severe upper abdomen and mid back pain that was very painful and couldn't sleep because I couldn't lay on my back or side. They did CT scan and ended up finding the aneurism. I guess this is rare, but with the dissection with it, it is double rare, so as I am sure with many of you, its a scary feeling. While my size is only 1.0, and everything I have seen minimizes the severity of it, the dissection really adds to my concern. I will post next after I meet with a VS (Hopefully soon).

Hello @briandem and welcome to Mayo Connect. I can certainly understand your concern. I hope that you soon have an appointment with a vascular surgeon. Does your network offer you options for vascular surgeons?

I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you post as you have questions and concerns?
