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

Jpn J Radiol. 2010 Dec;28(10):767-70. doi: 10.1007/s11604-010-0489-y. Epub 2010 Dec 30.

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.
