Abstract:
Coeliac stenosis induced by arcuate ligament compression is usually asymptomatic. Current caution is advised during a supramesocolonic surgical procedure in the case of a collateral arterial system due to coeliac stenosis. 11 cases of coeliac stenosis are described. 3 patients underwent duodenopancreatic resection, 8 patients had liver transplantation. 2 patients died after complications due to celiac, stenosis. These cases are described. The authors discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
