Celiac Artery Aneurysm: Anyone else with same illness?
Hello! I was recently diagnosis with a celiac artery aneurysm in June 2016. I underwent a embolization w/ coils procedure since the aneurysm had grown while in the hospital. I was trying to reach out to someone who suffered the same illness but have not been lucky. I would like to locate someone with my same illness. I would appreciate any help. Thank you

Has anyone else after having a stent in the celiac artery still has digestive issues? I still have bloating and certain foods irritate my digestion which leads to issues. UGH!
I’m not sure. I go to a cardiologist on the 30th. I live in North Mississippi. It was found while doing a ct scan of my renal arteries. Luckily the renal arteries are fine.
Yes a stent but they will do also a bipass have a open Surgery 30, of january
Sure. Will you be getting a stent? Where do you live?

1 ReactionHey! I was diagnosed with Ciliac aneurysm last month. I ran across your post hoping For a little info.
I am sorry that you are having to deal with all of this bad news, Susan Thanks for the celiac info.
somehow the first part of my reply disappeared. I ave Factor V Leiden which is a gene mutation. the Effect is that my body makes blood clots too easily. My celiac is very compressed and I may have MALS but the radiologists were hesitant to interpret it as MALS. My renal artery is narrowed, as well as my lower illiac and my femoral artery was full of clots, but I now have two stents placed in the femoral. I am on Xarelto 20 mgs and oh Plavix and will be for the rest of my life, The celiac compression gives me only mild discomfort. Beyond the compression is a small 9mm aneurysm.
aneurysm. Usually aneurysms are ot removed until they are 2mm or greater.

Thanks for the information. My doctor mentioned the radiation issue as a reason not to have contrast scans and suggested doing non contrast scans but he didn't mention using ultrasound but it makes sense.

Oh good. Same here. Mine was discovered two years ago after a bicycle accident. New doctor recently. He does ultrasound. Less radiation, every six months. Mine has grown from 1.2 to 1.4 in a year. So I guess he wants to watch it. Good luck and live life! ✌️.
