Celiacomesenteric trunk: a variation that must be known before aortic surgery

Nicolas Lagoutte et al. Clin Pract. .

Abstract

The celiac trunk and the mesenteric arteries may present variations with different clinical significance. A celiacomesenteric trunk was discovered in a patient with mesenteric ischemia and a history of aortic bypass without inferior mesenteric artery reimplantation. Despite thrombectomies and digestive resections, the patient died. Anatomic variations like celiacomesenteric trunk must be known before aortic surgery.

Keywords: celiacomesenteric trunk; mesenteric ischemia.; thrombosis.
