ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Median arcuate ligament (MAL) syndrome is a clinical syndrome caused by the compression of the celiac artery (CA) by the MAL. This study aimed to present the detailed anatomy and a step-by-step procedure of CA decompression for MAL syndrome.METHODS:
The CA decompression procedure involves exposing the diaphragmatic crura and aorta, taping the left gastric artery, and dividing the compressive tissues. The MAL and ganglionic tissue, which form a broad band with multiple layers overlying the CA, comprise the compressive tissues. Therefore, the compressive tissues overlying the CA are encircled and divided one by one until the CA stenosis is released. CA decompression is confirmed with intraoperative duplex ultrasonography of the CA, with a return to normal peak systolic velocities without variation between deep inspiration and expiration.CONCLUSION:
This report presents the detailed anatomy and procedural steps for CA decompression in MAL syndrome.Palavras-chave
