Successful treatment of a visceral artery aneurysm with a celiacomesenteric trunk: Report of a case

Abstract

A celiacomesenteric trunk is an anomaly in which the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries have a common origin from the aorta. This structure accounts for less than 1% of all visceral artery anomalies, and is estimated to have an incidence of 0.25%. Aneurysms involving a celiacomesenteric trunk are exceptionally rare. We herein report our treatment modality for an 82-year-old man with a visceral artery aneurysm involving a celiacomesenteric trunk. The aneurysm was resected, and the superior mesenteric, splenic, and common hepatic arteries were successfully reconstructed.

Arterial anomalies of the celiac trunk and median arcuate ligament compression in dogs and cats assessed by computed tomography angiography

“…The increased interest in transcatheter therapies in veterinary medicine and the development of interventional radiology as a specialty has renewed interest in the anatomical variations of the major abdominal arteries in dogs and cats that are accessed during interventional catheterization . An understanding of such variation improves success during catheterization procedures and may decrease the risk of procedural morbidity, as reported in the human literature . Venous anomalies including portosystemic shunts are frequently reported in dogs (0.18%), with a higher prevalence of extra‐hepatic portosystemic shunt in specific small breeds of dog (3.2% in Havanese and 2.9% in Yorkshire Terrier), while intrahepatic portosystemic shunts are more commonly reported in large breeds of dog .…”

Celiomesenteric trunk demonstrated by multi-detector computed tomography angiography: two cases of a rare vascular variation

“…Symptoms are rare and vary between unspecific abdominal pain and real abdominal angina, when associated to atherosclerosis [1]. Aneurysms and thrombosis of the CMT have also been reported [6,13].…”

A case of celiacomesenteric trunk in combination with bilateral duplication of renal arteries and hypospadias

“…A celiacomesenteric trunk (CMT), with common origin of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries from the aorta, is quite rare and has incidence from 0.25% -2.7% in various studies. 1,[3][4][5][6][7]11,13,15 This anatomical variation may be accompanied by some other arterial anomalies 8 . Presence of celiacomesenteric trunk may be occasionally recognized during clinical examination, particularly when using medical imaging techniques.…”

“…7,12 Common celiacomesenteric trunk may be involved several in pathological processes: aneurysm, occlusion, thrombosis etc. 1,5,6,9,10 Mesenteric ischemia may accompany celiacomesenteric trunk. 14 Knowledge about variations of arteries, particularly about possibility of CMT, is clinically important.…”
