Prominent gastroduodenal artery: Endosonographic sign of celiac artery stenosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Celiac artery (CA) stenosis is a relatively common finding in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). In the presence of CA stenosis, arterial blood supply to the celiac territory is usually sustained from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) through well-developed collaterals. In this paper, the authors report endosonographically identified prominent gastroduodenal artery as the sign of CA stenosis for the first time. Uncovering previously unidentified vascular abnormality, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has improved patient management. The patient had uneventful collateral preserving PD.

Whipple’s Procedure Complicated by Celiac Artery Stenosis: Case Report and Review of Treatment Options
Although infrequently symptomatic, celiac artery stenosis is a vascular pathology that can commonly be encountered in hepatobiliary surgery. Secondary to celiac artery stenosis, the supramesocolic viscera may rely on blood supply from the gastroduodenal artery which, if ligated, can lead to detrimental ischaemia causing postoperative morbidity and mortality. We report the case of a 53-year-old ...
متن کاملBypass grafting between the supraceliac aorta and the common hepatic artery during pancreaticoduodenectomy
Patients with celiac artery stenosis often remain asymptomatic due to formation of extensive collateral pathways. Hepatic or anastomotic ischemia may occur when the gastroduodenal artery and these collaterals are ligated during pancreaticoduodenectomy. Here, we present a patient with severe atherosclerotic disease of the celiac axis who successfully underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with aorto-...

CONTEXT Celiac artery stenosis is observed in a significant percentage of individuals in the general population. Although usually clinically silent and insignificant, due to the presence of extensive collaterals between the celiac artery and the superior mesenteric artery, celiac artery stenosis may be associated with potentially catastrophic ischemic complications in patients undergoing pancre...

Duodenal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is rare, and even rarer is a massive gastrointestinal bleeding from such tumours. Coeliac occlusive disease, although rarely symptomatic, can lead to ischaemic changes with anastomotic dehiscence and leaks when a patient undergoes pancreatoduodenectomy. A 41-year-old man with known metastasis to the adrenal glands and the second part of the duodenum...

A 74-year-old female was diagnosed as having a carcinoma of the papilla of Vater. Preoperative computed tomography showed stenosis of the celiac trunk and an enlarged artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) joining the root of the splenic artery. Since this artery communicated with the SMA and the celiac trunk, independently of the gastroduodenal and dorsal pancreatic arteries,...
