Popis: Background Celiac trunk aneurysms are rare but potential life-threatening lesions. Endovascular techniques are more often used for their treatment because of low rates of morbidity and mortality. Case Report We describe a modification of stent-assisted coil embolization technique more commonly used in the treatment of intracranial aneurysm, to exclude a 50-mm diameter celiac trunk aneurysm. The patient was a 67-year-old man who had a previous exclusion of a symptomatic aortic aneurysm, with occlusion of the inferior mesenteric and both hypogastric arteries. Anatomic features of the celiac trunk aneurysm and its branches do not allow treatment with a straight endograft or maintain direct flow to the hepatic artery. We then performed an endograft-assisted coil embolization of the aneurysm, with a straight flow line to the splenic artery. Conclusion Endograft-assisted coil embolization is a feasible and safe technique to allow selective embolization of the sac and the presence of direct flow to the splenic artery and indirect flow to the hepatic artery.
