  • Title: [Aneurysm of the celiac trunk. Presentation of a clinical case and review of the literature].
    Author: Veraldi GF, Dorrucci V, Poggi E, Rombolà G, Franceschetti ME, Leopardi F.
    Journal: Minerva Cardioangiol; 1997 Jun; 45(6):267-71. PubMed ID: 9432567.
    Abstract:
    The aneurysms of the celiac trunk are the rarest aneurysms of the visceral arteries. From 1958 only 69 cases have been reported in the international literature. They are frequently asymptomatic and their discovery is more often occasional. They can rupture in 15-20% of the cases with a mortality approaching 80% of the cases. This explains the need of a surgical treatment even in the asymptomatic cases. Personal experience in the surgical treatment of a case of aneurysm of the celiac trunk is reported and a survey of the literature on this matter is made.
