Treatment of an aneurysm of the celiac artery arising from a celiomesenteric trunk. Report of a case.

Introduction: Visceral artery aneurysms (VAA) are rare, frequently present as a life-threatening emergency and are often fatal. The celiacomesenteric trunk (CMT), a common origin of the celiac trunk (CT) and the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) from abdominal aorta, is quite rare. Aneurysms that involve this celiomesenteric anomaly are even rarer and in the last 32 years have been reported in only 20 cases in the literature.
