title: Endovascular Stent-Graft Treatment of Giant Celiac Artery Pseudoaneurysm.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs) comprise an uncommon but life-threatening vascular disease. When rupture is the first clinical presentation, mortality rate reaches 70%. Increased use of cross-sectional imaging has led to a greater rate of diagnosis (40-80%) of asymptomatic VAAs. In the past, surgery was the treatment of choice for VAAs carrying high risk of mortality and morbidity.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 22-year-old man, who had undergone gastric, pancreatic and aortic surgery 2.5 years earlier, presented with progressive abdominal pain. Multidetector computed tomography scan revealed an 8-cm celiac pseudoaneurysm. We report a giant celiac pseudoaneurysm treated with stent-graft implantation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endovascular treatment of VAA is a safe and effective method alternative to surgery.
