STENOSIS OF THE CELIAC TRUNK – FROM DIAGNOSTICS TO TREATMENT
https://doi.org/10.24835/1607-0763-2018-1-68-77
Abstract
Compression stenosis of the celiac trunk (CSCT) is a syndrome based on the celiac trunk stenosis of varying degree, sometimes in combination with that of the superior mesenteric artery, caused by the compression of this vessel by the medial arched ligament of the diaphragm, as well as its internal legs and the neurofibrotic tissue of the celiac plexus. CSCT can cause chronic ischemia of the abdominal organs and chronic pain syndrome. The branches of the celiac trunk, supplying the stomach, liver, pancreas to the blood, are connected with the mesenteric arteries of the intestine in a common circle, therefore, with a lack of blood flow along one of the branches, the entire digestive tract suffers . The main clinical manifestation of CSCT is abdominal pain, observed in 97–100% patients. Angiography is the most invasive and, at the same time, the most informative method currently available to assess the extent and degree of the celiac trunk narrowing and to determine indications for surgical treatment. Ultrasound is a harmless, painless and at the same time informative diagnostic method for CSCT. A modern ultrasound technique is ultrasound with the use of echocontrast. Multi-detector CT angiography with multiplanar and 3D reconstruction is the optimal method of X-ray diagnostics of CSCT. MR angiography is successfully used both for preoperative preparation in patients with compression of the celiac trunk, and in the postoperative period. The methods of surgical treatment for abdominal ischemia are divided into palliative, decompressional and reconstructive. Modern diagnostic methods allow non-invasive methods to diagnose CSES in combination with clinical manifestations. The laparoscopic method is optimal for celiac trunk decompression, but the choice of the surgical treatment method should be considered individually.
