Complex endovascular treatment of a celiac trunk artery aneurysm with splenic artery rescue

Abstract

Visceral arterial aneurysms are uncommon pathologies, with an uncertain ethology and no clear treatment guidelines. As in our case, where we treated a 70 y.o. male patient, who came to us for un unspecific abdominal pain. So, he practiced a CT total body with contrast, presenting a celiac trunk aneurysm with involvement of the hepatic and splenic artery and therefore the team decided for an endovascular treatment, successfully obtained. Our experience is about the description of a case in its most practical and technical aspect, especially in complicated or rare conditions.
