Successful conservative treatment of acute traumatic occlusions of the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery

摘要

Rationale:Blunt injury of major visceral arteries such as celiac artery (CA) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) are very rare but fatal, therefore, these injuries are challenging to trauma surgeons. The patient with occlusion of CA or SMA is theoretically viable by visceral collateral circulation. However, there are very rare cases in clinics. To date, there have been few reports of both CA and SMA occlusions after blunt trauma. Herein we describe our successful conservative treatment of patients with both CA and SMA occlusions.
