Celiac Artery Aneurysm: Anyone else with same illness?

Posted by Jen @jurney01, Jul 23, 2016

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

Do you think it is considered rare because little is really known? It seems to me many people have it. I think of the many many people that have it and it is not diagnosed yet. I suffered from age 15-50 with no true diagnosis.

Mine was 1.2 and I thought as you are that I should get it repaired. They basically refused to do it. they said the surgery is too risky for the benefit. It's been 1.5 years since first discovery and it has self healed some. Now just a yearly CT scan for me. Good luck but be prepared that they may not do the surgery.

Maybe self heal is the wrong way to say it. I had a lot of clotting/ mass around mine which eventually disappeared. They couldn't distinguish from the CT scans what was actual aneurysm and what was inflamed/clotted. eventually it cleared and what was left was about the same as the original size. It's hard to tell when they are this size.

@txkathy

I recently had a abdominal CT to check on a hernia, but they found a celiac artery aneurysm measuring 11 mm. I have an appointment with a vascular surgeon this week, but my husband & I want me to have surgery for this, although the aneurysm is not very large.I don't even know if he has ever performed this kind of resection before. We live 3 hours from Dallas & may decide to have a surgeon there do the operation. Any advise would be helpful.
