RESUMO
Celiac artery aneurysms are extremely rare vascular lesions that are frequently asymptomatic. When present, clinical manifestations are often vague and unspecific. The most serious complication of celiac artery aneurysms is rupture with a mortality rate up to 100%. Elective surgical repair, with a mortality rate of 5%, is recommended except when operative risks contraindicate abdominal surgery. The authors present three clinical cases of celiac artery aneurysms treated by open surgery and discuss the surgical options adopted.

The authors report a retrospective analysis of all the aortic endovascular procedures performed in the Department until November 2009. The series includes a total of 302 patients, 246 of them having an elective treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm; 33 underwent an emergency treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm; and the remainder 23 patients had an endovascular procedure of the thoracic aorta. The aim of the study was dedicated at the evaluation of the epidemiologic characteristics of the patients, including associated and co-morbid entities, as well as the evaluation of the results, especially the early 30 days post-operative mortality and major morbidity.
