Coil embolization of a celiac artery aneurysm using the neck remodeling technique

Abstract

Aneurysms of the celiac trunk are rare. Untreated lesions enlarge progressively and may rupture spontaneously. We report the case of a 56-year-old man whose wide neck celiac aneurysm was successfully packed with coils with preservation of the native arterial circulation by percutaneous transcatheter embolization using the neck remodeling technique.

“…Conservative, endovascular or surgical treatment options have been considered (5,6,7). In 25-20% of patients, ruptures develop, resulting in a mortality rate of 80% (8).…”
