The authors made an analysis of 511 operations for chronic abdominal ischemia caused by stenosis of the celiac trunk performed during 20 years. In addition to decompression of the celiac trunk, one-stage combined operations on the organs of the abdominal cavity were made in 167 out of 511 patients for concomitant diseases. It was shown that adequately fulfilled operations on organs of the abdominal cavity with stenoses of the celiac trunk improved the results of operations for the stenosed vessel.
