복강동맥류(celiac trunk aneurysm)는 내장동맥류(Splanchnic artery aneurysm)의 4％밖에 이르지 않는 매우 희귀한 질병으로 다른 동맥류와는 달리 죽상동맥경화증과 혈관중막의 퇴행성 변화(medial degenerative change)가 주원인으로 알려져 있다. 대부분 특이 증상 없이 우연히 발견되는 복강동맥류는 파열시 약 80％의 사망률을 보이므로 진단 시 적극적인 치료의 개입이 요구된다. 저자들은 최근 2예의 복강동맥류 환자를 동맥류 문합술과 동맥류 제거술 및 우회로술로 치료하여 좋은 결과를 얻었다.

We report a case of celiac artery dissection after abdominal blunt trauma. A 29-year-old man visited the emergency room for acute left periumbilical pain after abdominal blunt trauma from his child. Computed tomography showed a wedge-shaped splenic infarction with splenic artery thrombus. He was hospitalized for careful observation, and after two days, follow-up computed tomographic angiography showed a progressed celiac artery dissection that involved common hepatic artery and an increased extent of splenic infarction. He underwent conventional angiography, and a self-expandable stent was placed between the celiac axis and the common hepatic artery. After two days, follow-up computed tomographic angiography showed good hepatic arterial blood flow via the stent and no progression of splenic infarction. After ten days, he was discharged without complications.

A rare case of aneurysm of the celiac artery due to arteriosclerosis was presented. The patient was 56-year-old female and had suffered from hypertension for 4 years, and recently, from dyspepsia prior to admission for 2 months. The operation was operated upon by interposition of an autogenous tubular saphenous vein graft between the proximal celiac artery and the common opening of the hepatic and the splenic arteries in the opened aneurysmal sac with inclusion technique. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Traumatic dissection of the celiac artery without aortic dissection is a rare event. Here we describe two cases of celiac artery dissection after blunt abdominal trauma managed conservatively without surgical or endovascular intervention.

Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital malformation of the lower respiratory tract. Most intralobar BPSs are provided with an arterial blood via the thoracic or abdominal aorta but such a supply is rarely found in patients older than 50 years. We report a case of an intralobar BPS with a dual arterial supply from the celiac artery and thoracic aorta in a 50-year-old man presenting with a respiratory tract infection and haemoptysis. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a BPS supplied by the celiac artery and thoracic aorta in a 50-year-old man.

Celiac artery compression is a rare condition in which the celiac artery is compressed by the median arcuate ligament. Case reports of compression after trauma are hard to find. Blunt traumatic pericardium rupture is also a rare condition. We report a single patient who experienced both rare conditions from a single blunt injury. An 18-year-old woman was brought to the trauma center after a fatal motorcycle accident, in which she was a passenger. The driver was found dead. Her vital signs were stable, but she complained of mild abdominal pain, chest wall pain, and severe back pain. There were no definite neurologic deficits. Her initial computed tomography (CT) scan revealed multiple rib fractures, moderate lung contusions with hemothorax, moderate liver injury, and severe lumbar spine fracture and dislocation. She was brought to the angiography room to check for active bleeding in the liver, which was not apparent. However, the guide wire was not able to pass through the celiac trunk. A review of the initial CT revealed kinking of the celiac trunk, which was assumed to be due to altered anatomy of the median arcuate ligament caused by spine fractures. Immediate fixation of the vertebrae was performed. During recovery, her hemothorax remained loculated. Suspecting empyema, thoracotomy was performed at 3 weeks after admission, revealing organized hematoma without pus formation, as well as rupture of the pericardium, which was immediately sutured, and decortication was carried out. Five weeks after admission, she had recovered without complications and was discharged home.

The aim of this study was to establish selective hepatic artery catheterization technique through percutaneous femoral artery puncture and to offer digital subtraction angiography (DSA) of hepatic artery in beagle dogs. Percutaneous femoral artery puncture was performed with Sheldinger's method. Microferret$^{TM}$-18 Infusion catheter(William, Cook, Europe) was introduced into abdominal aorta. Then, under fluoroscopy, iopamidol 370(Bracco, Italy) was injected to identify celiac artery and 'J' shaped guide wire was introduced into celiac artery. Catheter could be introduced into celiac artery through guide wire. In this manner, catheter was located at the insertion of hepatic artery and DSA was performed. In DSA of beagle dogs, hepatic artery which was divided into lateral branch, right-medial branch, right-lateral branch of hepatic artery, cystic artery and gastroduodenal artery was opacified without superimposition of any other body structure and so was the parenchyme of liver afterward. In autopsy angiographic finding of resected liver, cystic artery, caudate branch, lateral branch, right-medial branch, right-lateral branch and quadrate branch of hepatic artery were identified. It was concluded that selective hepatic artery catheterization technique was a minimally invasive method that facillitated the approach of hepatic artery and DSA was an excellent tool to visualize the vessle of liver in dogs.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung anomaly. It is defined as a portion of nonfunctioning lung parenchyma that receives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery. Patients often present with chronic or recurrent pneumonia. A chest radiograph may show a cystic lesion with air-fluid levels in the lung base. A high index of suspicion is needed for a diagnosis. Surgical removal of a symptomatic intralobar pulmonary sequestration is generally the treatment of choice. Identifying the aberrant artery is a difficult problem when resecting a pulmonary sequestration. The thoracic and abdominal aortas are the most common origins for the abnormal blood supply. However, arterial supply from the celiac artery is quite rare. We present a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration with the blood supply originating from the celiac artery.

We report a redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in a 55-year-old man. Angina recurred 7 years after the initial surgery. Coronary angiography showed all patent grafts except a faint visualization of the in situ right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) graft, which was anastomosed to the posterior descending coronary artery, associated with celiac axis stenosis. Redo-CABG was performed at postoperative 10 years because of aggravated angina and decreased perfusion of the inferior wall in the myocardial single photon emission computed tomography. The saphenous vein graft was interposed between the 2 in situ grafts used previously; the right internal thoracic artery and RGEA grafts. Angina was relieved and myocardial perfusion was improved.

하췌십이지장동맥 동맥류는 드물다. 진성 하췌십이지장동맥 동맥류의 약 50%가 복강동맥의 협착 또는 폐색과 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하췌십이지장동맥 동맥류는 발견되는 즉시 치료해야 하는데, 파열 시 사망률이 50%에 이르기 때문이다. 최근에 가장 널리 쓰이는 치료법은 카테터 경유 동맥 색전술이다. 저자들은 복강동맥의 협착 또는 폐쇄를 동반한 하췌십이지장동맥 동맥류를 색전술로 치료한 세 개의 증례를 소개하고, 이에 대한 문헌을 고찰하고자 한다.
