Celiac trunk aneurysms, represent about 4%, of all
splanchnie aneurysms. They are rare lesions but clinically
important because when ruptured are associated
with high mortality.
We report our experience in the treatment of 3 patients
affected by aneurysms involving the celiac trunk, 2
females and1 male, with a median age of 55.3 years (37
- 74). Two were treated surgically and one percutaneously.
Based on the Literature data and on personal experience,
we suggest that the first diagnostic approach
can be echography, while CT scan and angiography
improve definition of the lesion and (if they are) of
the anatomic anomalies. Concerning treatment, the
first choice should be traditional surgery and percutaneous
treatment should be reserved to high risk
patients
