Aneurysm and stenosis of the celiomesenteric trunk: A rare anomaly

A celiomesenteric trunk (CMT) anomaly is extremely rare, occurring in less than 0.5% of people. We describe two cases of CMT anomaly treated surgically for median arcuate ligament compression with stenosis causing intestinal angina and an asymptomatic aneurysm. Disease involving a CMT is extremely u...

Description
Summary:A celiomesenteric trunk (CMT) anomaly is extremely rare, occurring in less than 0.5% of people. We describe two cases of CMT anomaly treated surgically for median arcuate ligament compression with stenosis causing intestinal angina and an asymptomatic aneurysm. Disease involving a CMT is extremely uncommon. This comprises the first report of symptomatic median arcuate ligament compression of a CMT. Only four cases of aneurysmal disease are reported so far. Indications and technique of surgical repair of CMT aneurysms are similar to those used for splanchnic artery aneurysms. (J Vasc Surg 2003;37:679-82.)
