Abstract

Visceral arterial aneurysms are uncommon pathologies, with an uncertain ethology and no clear treatment guidelines. As in our case, where we treated a 70 y.o. male patient, who came to us for un unspecific abdominal pain. So, he practiced a CT total body with contrast, presenting a celiac trunk aneurysm with involvement of the hepatic and splenic artery and therefore the team decided for an endovascular treatment, successfully obtained. Our experience is about the description of a case in its most practical and technical aspect, especially in complicated or rare conditions.
