Introduction: Coeliac artery aneurysms are rare and have a high mortality rate when ruptured. Although they are often asymptomatic, treatment is recommended for patients with true coeliac aneurysms >2.5 cm, noted enlargement, or associated symptoms. Less invasive endovascular treatment is predominantly performed for coeliac artery aneurysms, while open surgery is preferred for patients with compression symptoms. Here, a case of symptomatic giant coeliac artery aneurysm that was successfully treated with hybrid surgery is reported. Report: A 73 year old man was referred with continuous epigastric discomfort and loss of appetite for two weeks. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography revealed a 12 cm aneurysm of the coeliac artery. The splenic and common hepatic arteries were severely distorted and compressed by the aneurysm, making their origins unclear. Considering the risk of rupture, semi-urgent surgery was performed with interruption of the inflow and outflow arteries using open and endovascular techniques together with aneurysmorrhaphy. Vascular reconstruction was omitted because abundant collateral flow to the liver and spleen was confirmed on angiography. Discussion: With the hybrid approach, aneurysmorrhaphy was performed safely with minimal incision and dissection. Short term outcomes were satisfactory, with complete resolution of compression symptoms and remarkable sac shrinkage at 12 months. Owing to the possibility of the pancreaticoduodenal arcade developing as a collateral pathway, periodic surveillance for de novo aneurysms is warranted. |
