Aim Of The Study: Determine the anatomical variants of the celiac trunk and describe it in its modal form using a scanner.
Patients: In total, 200 patients were included in this study.
Material And Methods: The study was carried out using a multi-detector scanner (SIEMENS Somatom Emotion Excel Edition, 16 bars). The two-dimensional and three-dimensional reconstructions by volume were made with the OSIRIX software. It was a retrospective study. The study had taken into account the result of the abdominal scanners injected carried out from December 15, 2018 to February 15, 2019 i.e. 14 months (1 year 2 months).
Results: A predominance of type I of UFLACKER is 93.50% with a rate of change from normal of 6.50%. A vertebral projection of the origin of the celiac trunk at the level of the T12-L1 intervertebral disc was observed in 52.80%. An existence of collateral branches in 7.5% of cases. Other terminal branches apart from the three classics were found in 8.5% of the cases.
Conclusion: These variants deserve special attention in the case of a pre-therapeutic vascular assessment for the surgical or interventional management of tumors and trauma of the supra-meso-colic viscera or even for organ transplantation.

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.

Introduction And Importance: Splenic artery aneurysm is extremely rare but potentially life threatening disease which poses great challenge in diagnosing due to non-specific nature of clinical presentation. Rarely, it presents with upper gastrointestinal bleeding i.e.

Purpose: The use of surgeon-modified fenestrated endograft to treat a bleeding complication in the common iliac artery.
Technique: An Endurant limb graft was modified on back table in theater after planning the fenestration using a semi-automated centerline. The Endurant stent was planned to land flush at the aortic bifurcation.

Introduction/aim: The partial deployment technique (PDT) is an unconventional option of T-branch deployment to allow target arteries (TAs) cannulation/stenting from the upper arm access, in case of narrow (NPA: <25mm) or severely angulated (APA: >60°) aorta. Aim of this study was to report outcomes of the endovascular repair of complex aortic (c-AAAs) and thoracoabdominal (TAAAs) aneurysms by T-branch and PDT.
Methods: All consecutive patients underwent urgent endovascular repair of c-AAAs and TAAAs by T-branch (Cook-Medical, Bloomington, IN, US) and PDT from 2021 to 2023 were analyzed.
