Isolated spontaneous dissection of the celiac trunk is rarely diagnosed in acute abdominal pain. We present two cases of celiac trunk and splenic artery dissection with splenic infarction. Patients were successfully managed and stabilized by medical treatment. Isolated celiac trunk dissection can be fatal, therefore providers should be careful not to overlook this entity.

Semi-Branched Endovascular Aortic Repair: A New Feature in the Treatment of Complex Aortic Aneurysms.
J Endovasc Ther
January 2025
Department of Vascular Surgery, The Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel HaShomer, Ramat Gan, Israel.
Purpose: To report a case series on using a novel semi-branch feature in custom-made stent-grafts in the endovascular treatment of complex aortic aneurysms and summarize the contemporary usage of this technology.
Case Series: Four patients underwent endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) with a custom-made semi-branch stent-graft (Semi-Branch Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair [SBEVAR]). Two male patients, 75- and 76-year-old, were treated due to failed EVAR with late-type Ia endoleak, and the other two, 80- and 55-year-old male patients, due to a juxta-renal aortic abdominal aneurysm (JRAAA).
Outcomes Following Fenestrated/Branched Endovascular Aortic Repair for Failed Open Infrarenal Aortic Repair Compared with Primary Fenestrated/Branched Endovascular Aortic Repair.

Objective: As aneurysmal disease is progressive, proximal disease progression and para-anastomotic aneurysms are complications experienced after open infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (AAA). As such, fenestrated or branched endovascular repair (F/BEVAR) may be indicated in these patients. Data describing fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair after prior open repair are limited to institutional databases.

We present a case of an 86-year-old female with chronic mesenteric ischemia secondary to long-segment flush occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and near-total occlusion of the celiac artery. The superior mesenteric artery was unable to be revascularized by conventional antegrade approaches. Successful transcollateral crossing of the occluded superior mesenteric artery and body-flossing, followed by antegrade balloon angioplasty, shockwave lithotripsy, and stent implantation were performed.

Introduction: Graft-versus-host disease is a serious complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and is a major cause of death post-transplantation. Approximately 50% of acute graft-versus-host disease patients do not respond to systemic steroids and their prognosis is poor regardless of the treatment. This study describes our experience with pediatric patients diagnosed with steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease who received intra-mesenteric steroid treatment.
