Abstract
Compression of the celiac axis by the median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm can cause nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and weight loss. There is a known association between stenosis or occlusion of the celiac trunk and aneurysms of the pancreaticoduodenal artery. Treatment strategies for patients who have this association should be selected on a case-by-case basis. We describe the case of a patient with pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm associated with compression of the celiac trunk by the arcuate ligament, which were managed with endovascular and laparoscopic techniques, respectively.Entities:

Figure 1Angiotomography showing a pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm and compression of the origin of the celiac trunk by the arcuate ligament of the diaphragm, causing stenosis exceeding 90%.
Figure 2Relieving compression of the celiac trunk by sectioning the arcuate ligament via videolaparoscopy.
Figure 3Doppler ultrasonography conducted after sectioning the arcuate ligament, showing absence of compression of the celiac trunk, leaving only residual stenosis with post-stenotic dilation. CT = celiac trunk; SMA = superior mesenteric artery.
