Recurrent Mesenteric Ischemia from Celiomesenteric Trunk Stenosis.
A common origin of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery (SMA), also termed as celiomesenteric trunk (CMT), is a rare occurrence. We report a rare case of symptomatic CMT stenosis requiring multiple interventions. The patient underwent an initial superior mesenteric artery bypass graft but required a subsequent endoluminal intervention. We present this case for the rarity of CMT stenosis and its potential to cause recurrent mesenteric ischemia. The treatment outcome in this patient suggests that revascularization of the SMA alone can result in adequate perfusion of the entire mesenteric bed and resolve symptoms of mesenteric ischemia including weight loss and food avoidance.
