Abstract

We report the case of a novel 2-stage hybrid repair of a complex celiac artery aneurysm. The patient was a 42-year-old man with a proximal celiac artery aneurysm giving rise to distinct right and left hepatic arterial branches. Repair was performed using a staged approach. First, a bifurcated aortohepatic bypass was constructed to the common and left hepatic arteries. After recovering from surgery, he underwent percutaneous embolization of the aneurysm. Completion angiograms demonstrated flow into all celiac branches with successful thrombosis of the aneurysm. At 12-month follow-up, the patient had remained symptom-free with patent bypass grafts and complete aneurysm exclusion. We describe the treatment option we used, which involves repair of a complex celiac aneurysm using a 2-stage, open, endovascular approach.
