behcet’s disease is a rare immune mediated systemic vasculitis which besides it’s more frequent involvement of eyes and skin,   sometimes present with aortic pseudo aneurysm and more rarely cardiac inflammatory masses.a 51-year-old patient with behçet’s disease presented with two symptomatic aortic pseudoaneurysms concomitant with a right atrial mass. computed tomography (ct) revealed one supra...

Some celiac artery aneurysms are not suitable for endovascular therapy. We describe the case of a 63-year-old man with a celiac trunk aneurysm extending to the hepatosplenic bifurcation. The aneurysm was resected and oversewn at the origin from the abdominal aorta. A saphenous vein bypass from the supraceliac aorta to the celiac artery bifurcation was performed using a sutureless anastomotic de...

Background The celiac artery, celiac axis or celiac trunk is the first major abdominal branch of the aorta. Anatomic variations and accessory vessels have been reported with variable percentages. The purpose of this study was to report the pattern of the celiac trunk and its anatomic variations in a sample of Mexican population. Methods Celiac trunk dissection was performed in 140 fresh cadav...

We successfully treated a case of a 65-year-old female with an abdominal aortic aneurysm coexisting with an atypical coarctation of thoracoabdominal aorta and celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery occlusion. A dilated inferior mesenteric artery was supplying the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery regions. The patient also had mitral regurgitation. After a mitral valve plasty, we ...

The celiac trunk is the first major branch of abdominal aorta. It originates from ventral aspect aorta at level T12–L1 vertebrae and was originally described as an artery that branches into common hepatic artery, left gastric splenic artery. Absence origin three arteries separately a rare entity reported in 0.38% to 2.6% cases. even more uncommon this variation can be accompanied by other vascu...

background: the celiac axis, superior mesenteric artery (sma), and hepatic artery are the most important branches of abdominal aorta due to their vascularization field. the aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of different anatomical variation of celiac axis, sma, hepatic artery, and its branches with multidetector computed tomography (mdct) angiography of upper abdomen arteries. mat...

Covering and embolizing the celiac artery has been reported to be a relatively safe procedure, owing to the rich collateral pathway between the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery. A 69-year-old man presented with an aneurysm on the distal descending aorta. The proximity of the aneurysm to the celiac artery origin necessitated covering the artery with a stent graft. Additionally, the c...

We report a case of acute type A dissection with ischemic enterocolitis due to blood flow insufficiency in the superior mesenteric artery. A 67 year-old man, with medicated ischemic heart disease and hypertension, presented to another hospital with chest pain radiating to the back and epigastrium. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a type A dissecting aneurysm, that extended from th...

Case A 56-year-old man presented with a sudden severe abdominal pain 13 days after the onset of type B acute aortic dissection. Chest computed tomography revealed type B aortic dissection, and the true lumen was narrowed by the expanding false lumen. Blood flow through the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and left renal artery was reduced. Blood flow through the distal abdominal aorta ...
