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.
