Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM: Celiac artery aneurysms represent rare eventualities which remain symptomatic for a long period of time; however, once diagnosed, it should be carefully monitored due to the high risk of developing life-threatening complications. When it comes to the types of therapeutic strategies, both endovascular and surgical therapies can be taken in consideration. CASE REPORT: Depending on the patency of the collateral network, simple ligation or graft placement should be performed. The aim of the current paper is to report the case of a patient diagnosed with a celiac trunk aneurysm who was successfully submitted to resection in association with iliac graft placement between the abdominal aorta and the common hepatic artery. CONCLUSION: Whenever celiac artery aneurysm is diagnosed, it should be closely monitored and treated, resection and reconstruction being a feasible method in order to avoid the development of a life-threatening complication.
