A blind-ending branch of celiac artery: a persistent embryologic vascular remnant?

Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg

Published: January 2024

The celiac artery classically divides into three major branches, but it may have variations in branching pattern. Here we report a case of celiac artery having a blind-ending branch in a 54-year-old man who underwent computed tomography of the abdomen before the kidney transplantation surgery. Preprocedural assessment of celiac artery variations is critical for surgical and angiographic procedures involving the upper abdomen.

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.

Objective: Paravisceral aortic lesions present significant challenges for endovascular treatment. This retrospective analysis of consecutively treated patients from April 2017 to June 2021 aimed to analyse the outcome of primary intra-operative embolisation of aortic complicated pseudoaneurysms and gutter channels during parallel graft (PG) repair of paravisceral symptomatic aortic pseudoaneurysms.

Methods: Patients with symptomatic pseudoaneurysms of the paravisceral aorta treated with PGs using chimney or periscope configurations were included.

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.

: The parallel stent graft endovascular aortic repair (PGEVAR) technique is an off-the-shelf option used for elective complex abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with acceptable outcome results, as reported so far. The PGEVAR technique, using chimney or periscope parallel grafts, can also be used for patients with ruptured complex abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, only few data about the mid- to long-term outcomes are available.
