A 47-year-old man underwent enhanced computed tomography for the evaluation of his lumbago. A celiac artery aneurysm (diameter: 27 mm) and a common trunk of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries were noted. The aneurysm was resected and replaced with a left internal iliac artery graft via medial visceral rotation through midline laparotomy, a procedure that offered an excellent surgical field. We believe that the internal iliac artery is a good graft option for reducing the risk of future graft aneurysm formation, especially in relatively young patients.
