Celiac Artery Aneurysm: Anyone else with same illness?

Not I, and that is thr fearful part. They dont have data. But it doest sound to optimistic.

Yes...non alcoholic type.
I have had 4 years worth of mostly 24/7 pain. I just changed to Keto diet and pain has subsided after just 3 days. I was so uncomfortable just driving.
Did anyone tell you your pain was from fatty liver? I have had an ultrasound that said fatty liver but 2 different CT scans didn't detect it. My doctor says the liver doesn't hurt but I'm really not trusting the advice I've been given. He also said if fatty liver didn't show up on CT than I don't have it. And I'm the proactive type of person. Ridiculous! So... I’m confused.
I don't get tired and occasionally I’ll get lightheaded. Had tons of tests, heart, gallbladder, pancreas, Mri’s of thoracic and lumbar, CT of abdomen and pelvis, ultrasound tons of blood workup.

@txkathy Good luck. They say the Celiac aneurysm is not as common as an aortic. So finding someone in Dallas may be difficult as well. At least someone that has operated on one before. I have considered going to Mayo, but that is a long way.

Has anyone ever had an aneurysm rupture or ever heard of anyone that did?

I live in North Central TX on the OK border by Wichita Falls. I am seeing the only Vascular Surgeon near by (Dr. Mohamad), but am considering going to UT Southwestern in Dallas. It's 3 hours away, but far more advanced than we are here.

I look forward to reading your update.

I was diagnosed with a celiac aneurysm a couple of years ago. It is about 1.2 cm in size so I am having it monitored. I have been told that surgery is an option if and when it grows to 1.4cm. From what I have been told by doctors and reading about the condition there isn't anything to do but have surgery when the aneurysm reaches a certain size. I welcome comments and thoughts from anyone else with this condition.

Has anyone had their doctor discuss embolization? I had coils placed over mine. Its was an evasive procedure. Through groin main artery. I also have blood work done every 6 months to monitor my liver and ct scan annually.

I'm now having constant pain discomfort like right below my ribs feel swollen also my lower back hurts. I called the hospital and they say its some exoskeleton muscle pain. Sounds like bs to me. Before this I rode a bike 11 miles a day lifted items with one other person from 100 to 400 lbs for 5 to 9 hrs a day.and was never in pain. When I left the hospital it was at 1.7 cm ive been calling for 2 days for a follow up apt leaving messages and get nothing back. Its almost like theyre waiting for this to break before they do anything. This pain discomfort didnt start until I started feeling this swelling in my lower chest area. I'm not a dr but I know me and this isnt right
Also I'm tired all the time now

When I was diagnosed 10 years ago The vascular doctor that was highly recommended told He it is a very expensive surgery and it would be a 50 50 chance it would work. I talked to a friend that was a nurse in our hospital with vascular for many years. I was referred to the Chief Of staff that was in vascular for over 30 years. He told me if you were my wife I would say don’t touch it leave it alone. I belong to another Facebook group for MALS and it seems surgeries haven’t been working and also found out that people have 3-4 surgeries. There are some people that are glad they had surgery. I would highly recommend to join that Facebook group that is where I learned the most. Iwasn’t Diagnosed until I was 50 maybe if I would of been diagnosed at an earlier age I would of tried surgery. I would caution you to really educate yourself and choose a surgeon wisely or things could become worse. I hope you find the answers you need. God bless you and your family!
