Celiac artery aneurysms are a form of visceral artery aneurysm and account for around 4% of such cases (fourth most common visceral arterial aneurysm).
Associations
An association with non-visceral arterial aneurysms is considered frequent 2.
While some patients may have symptoms, they are usually asymptomatic and are incidentally discovered.
Treatment and prognosis
The reported risk of rupture varies, but ranges around 10-20% 2. Some studies report an operative mortality rate associated with a ruptured celiac artery aneurysm at around 40% compared with only 5% for a non-ruptured aneurysm.
History and etymology
These aneurysms are thought to have been first described by the italian physician Giovanni Maria Lancisi (1654-1720), in a posthumously published book "De Motu Cordis et Aneurysmatibus" (1728) 7,8.
