Abstract

A 29-year-old, otherwise healthy male was brought to the emergency department after suffering an injury from falling from the roof of his house. Whole-body computed tomography (CT) showed a small ostial dissection of the celiac artery (CA) associated with a pseudoaneurysm, thrombosis, and retroperitoneal periaortic hematoma. The celiac trunk was otherwise normal with good distal patency and no signs of intestinal ischemia. The patient was successfully managed via an endovascular approach with the placement of a covered stent in the CA.
