Abstract
The purpose of this article is to report a case of ruptured celiac trunk aneurysm treated with glue embolization. A 39-year-old man presented with abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) depicted the presence of hemoperitoneum, and CT angiography revealed an aneurysm in the celiac trunk. The endovascular access into the aneurysm's outflow vessel was unattainable. N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) embolization was performed. However, untargeted distal embolizations via the left gastric, splenic, and common hepatic arteries formed. Postembolization angiography showed total occlusion of the aneurysmal cavity and left gastric artery but regular retrograde filling of the stomach, liver, and spleen by branches originating from the superior mesenteric artery. After discharge on day 6, the patient was doing well, without complications at the 11-month follow-up. The operative mortality of ruptured celiac trunk aneurysm is very high. Glue embolization was successfully used as a treatment option and should be considered when there are no other options.
