    The American Journal of Medicine

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Celiac artery compression syndrome, a debated condition, was diagnosed in two patients with abdominal pain and epigastric bruits. Surgical decompression was necessary for both due to poor response to conservative management.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Celiac artery compression syndrome (CACS) is a controversial diagnosis.
    • Despite debate, documented cases highlight its clinical significance.
    • This report focuses on two surgically confirmed cases.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with abdominal pain and characteristic epigastric bruits.
    • The bruit's diastolic component served as a key diagnostic clue.
    • Both patients exhibited poor outcomes with non-surgical interventions.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis of celiac artery stenosis was established in both cases.
    • The presence of an abdominal bruit with a diastolic component was pivotal.
    • Conservative treatment failed to alleviate symptoms in both patients.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the diagnostic value of epigastric bruits in CACS.
    • Underscores the need for surgical intervention in refractory CACS cases.
    • Contributes to the understanding and management of CACS.
