An Unusual Case of Stent Migration After Celiac Trunk Endovascular Revascularization

Abstract

A 61-year-old woman underwent celiac trunk stenting to treat abdominal angina. Three months later, she was readmitted for recurrent symptoms. Computed tomography control revealed the migration of the stent into the splenic artery. No sign of vessel injury or end-organ ischemia was detected. Repeat stenting of the celiac trunk was performed; the postoperative course was uneventful. 12 months later, the patient was asymptomatic with the second stent in its correct position, and she was asymptomatic for mesenteric ischemia.

Acute celiac artery occlusion secondary to blunt trauma: Two case reports

“…Other related complications include endoleaks, stent-graft occlusion, stent-graft migration, and aneurysms. Silvia reported a patient who underwent abdominal stent implantation due to abdominal angina and found that the stent migrated to the splenic artery three months later [17]. We did not choose balloon dilation or stent implantation because the patient's liver had su cient blood supply, and the occluded CA was bene cial to the patient's injury at that time.…”
