Operative treatment of celiac trunk aneurysms has traditionally involved open repair using simple ligation, interposition graft, resection, and direct repair or antegrade bypass from the aorta; recently, endovascular techniques have been proposed in selected cases. We report a 60-year-old man presenting with a celiac trunk aneurysm that we treated with a new multilayer stent with the aim of preserving the parent vessels arising from the aneurysm. Computed tomography angiography at the 12-month follow-up visit confirmed the patency of the stents, the complete thrombosis of the sac without impairment of the main branches, and the regular perfusion of the liver and spleen.

Abstract
Operative treatment of celiac trunk aneurysms has traditionally involved open repair using simple ligation, interposition graft, resection, and direct repair or antegrade bypass from the aorta; recently, endovascular techniques have been proposed in selected cases. We report a 60-year-old man presenting with a celiac trunk aneurysm that we treated with a new multilayer stent with the aim of preserving the parent vessels arising from the aneurysm. Computed tomography angiography at the 12-month follow-up visit confirmed the patency of the stents, the complete thrombosis of the sac without impairment of the main branches, and the regular perfusion of the liver and spleen.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
