ABSTRACT
Aneurysms of the coeliac axis are rare. Up to 1997, 137 cases had been reported. Here we present a coeliac aneurysm which involved the origin of the splenic, left gastric, and common hepatic arteries. After making a midline incision, infra-diaphragmatic control of the aorta was obtained. The aorta was clamped for 25 minutes to resect the aneurysm. The defect at the origin of the coeliac axis was closed with 1.5 cm PTFE patch. The distal segments of the splenic and left gastric arteries were ligated. A 6-mm ringed PTFE graft was interposed between the infra-renal aorta and the proper hepatic artery. The control arteriogram showed a good arterial flow. The patient recovered uneventfully after surgery with normalisation of hepatic function.
