Aneurysm of a Common Celiomesenteric Trunk

Reconstructive surgery for a fusiform common celiomesenteric trunk aneurysm and coexistent abdominal aortic aneurysm: Report of a case

“…8 Our literature search found only eight documented cases of a CMT aneurysm, all of which were successfully repaired. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Persistent embryonic arteries may be more prone to congenital defects in their elastic and smoothmuscle layers, thereby increasing their susceptibility to aneurysm formation. For example, persistent sciatic arteries often become aneurysmal.…”

“…If the aneurysm is saccular, aneurysmorrhaphy or dissection with patch angioplasty may be feasible, as described previously. 2,4 However, fusiform aneurysms should generally be treated with replacement using an interpositional graft to minimize the risk of aneurysm recurrence. 6 Although there is controversy about whether reconstruction of both the CA and the SMA is necessary, we think that both arteries should be reconstructed to minimize the risk of the devastating complications of acute occlusion of either vessel.…”

“…It accounts for fewer than 1% of all visceral artery anomalies. 1,2 To the best of our knowledge, only eight cases of aneurysms involving a CMT have been reported, [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] including one at our institution. 6 All eight patients were under 55 years of age and had saccular lesions.…”

A Complex Variation of the Parietal and Visceral Branches of the Abdominal Aorta

“…These vessels supply the derivatives of the foregut, midgut, and hindgut, respectively (Kahraman et al, 2001;Saeed et al, 2003;Cicekcibasi et al, 2005a). In rare cases, the coeliac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery may be fused to a coeliacomesenteric trunk (Cavdar et al, 1997;Detroux et al, 1998;Agarwal et al, 2000;Cicekcibasi et al, 2005b;Yi et al, 2007). A common origin of coeliac trunk and superior mesenteric artery from the abdominal aorta is extremely rare.…”

A Different Origin of the Right Gastro-omental Artery

“…In some cases, the trunk itself may be absent and its branches then arise from the aorta (Morettin et al, 1965;Okada et al, 1983;Vandamme & Bonte;Basar et al, 1995;Yamaka et al, 1985). In rare cases, the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery can be fused to a celiacomesenteric trunk (Cavdar et al, 1997;Detroux et al, 1998;Agarwal et al, 2000). The aim of this study was to describe the rare occurring gastroomental artery variation, which can be a guide and precaution during operative procedures in the region.…”
