Abstract
Spontaneous celiac artery dissection is uncommon. Abdominal pain is a common clinical presentation. Conservative medical treatments, endovascular interventions, and open surgery are used to treat spontaneous celiac artery dissection. A 49-year-old male patient visited our hospital, with back and subxiphoid pain that had persisted for 11 hours. He has been smoking 40 cigarettes a day for 20 years. The blood pressure was 180/100mmHg. Aortic computed tomography angiography (CTA) images revealed dissection of the celiac artery, common hepatic artery, left hepatic artery, right hepatic artery, and splenic artery. Urapidil hydrochloride and isosorbide dinitrate were administered to lower the blood pressure to approximately 110/70 mmHg. However, the back and subxiphoid pain persisted without relief. Angiography was performed and a vascular stent (BARD, LIFE STENT, VASCULAR, 8 × 60) was implanted into the celiac artery without involving the branches. Pain was immediately relieved after interventional therapy. The patient was discharged after 4 days. A subsequent aortic CTA after 10 months confirmed that the celiac artery dissection had still not reoccurred.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spontaneous dissection of the hepatic artery is a rare finding for which there is no specific treatment algorithm. Even though endovascular treatment and surgery have been used to treat other visceral artery dissections, these approaches can be challenging in the case of hepatic artery dissection because it is difficult to access the hepatic artery. CASE SUMMARY 2 patients with spontaneous dissection of the hepatic artery were admitted due to epigastric pain. Although the liver function test results were normal, and there were no complications such as bleeding, shock, or ischemia in other organs, a subsequent computed tomography scan directly revealed the spontaneous dissection of the hepatic artery in both patients. The patients were treated with anticoagulants without surgery. Because it is difficult to perform surgery or endovascular treatment on the hepatic artery, we focused on preventing the progression of hepatic artery dissection and the formation of a new thrombus in the dissection. CONCLUSION Considering the risk of surgical treatment for the hepatic artery and the condition of the patients, medical treatment with anticoagulants may be considered as an initial treatment and provide more benefits than surgical treatment.

Abstract
Spontaneous isolated celiac artery dissection is considered an uncommon clinical condition. Rarer still is spontaneous isolated celiac and splenic artery dissection, with a total of 42 reported cases. There is no known definitive cause of visceral artery dissections, but risk factors include male sex, age in 5th or 6th decade, hypertension, and connective tissue disorders. The presentation varies, diagnosis is principally radiographic, and the mainstay of treatment is anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy. Splenic infarction is a common finding with splenic artery dissection, although the strength of this association has not previously been reported. Herein we present a case of spontaneous isolated celiac and splenic artery dissection with splenic infarction that was successfully managed with blood pressure control and antiplatelet therapy. We review previous literature, principles of diagnosis and management, and incidence and outcomes of splenic infarction as it related to splenic artery dissection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the current status of spontaneous isolated celiac artery dissection (SICAD). METHODS The English-language literature published in various databases before December 2020 was reviewed. All case reports and series were included. If multiple reports came from the same hospital and covered the same period, only the most recent report was considered. The clinical characteristics, imaging features, and treatment outcome were analyzed. RESULTS The study enrolled 88 English language publications between January 1959 and December 2020, including 70 case reports, two case series, and 16 clinical studies. Overall, 316 cases of SICAD were reported in the studies, including 268 men and 44 women (unavailable for 4, men: women ratio: 6:1, p < 0.05). The median age was 50.5 years (range: 6-72) in men and 53.9 years (range: 41-67) in women. Most patients (83.54%, 264/316) complained about stomach pain, primarily in the epigastric region (38.61%, 122/316). The misdiagnosis rate in this study was 3.16% (10/316). The most commonly used imaging modality was computed tomography angiography (CTA), with 97.47% (308/316) cases reporting its use in diagnosis and/or management. The rate of symptom improvement with Conservative Management, with or without antithrombotic agents, was 92.45% (98/106) and 96.58% (141/146), respectively. The rate of symptom improvement after surgical recanalization was 100% (13/13). Moreover, endovascular management resulted in a 100% (50/50) symptom improvement rate. CONCLUSION Conservative management is the first-line treatment for SICAD. The surgical or endovascular intervention had a high technical success rate, suggesting that it should be reserved for patients who have failed conservative treatment.

Abstract
Isolated dissection of one of the mesenteric arteries without concurrent involvement of the aorta is a rare clinical entity and an unusual cause of abdominal pain. It usually involves one artery, most commonly the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) followed by the coeliac artery. We are reporting a rare case where both coeliac and SMA were showing dissection. We are reporting a case of 60-year-old hypertensive male who came with worsening abdominal pain for 5 days; CT scan showed coeliac and SMA dissection without any imaging evidence of intestinal ischaemia. He was successfully managed medically with bowel rest and anticoagulation. Two weeks of follow-up CT scan showed no progression or thrombus formation. For complicated cases, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of a visceral artery or open surgical exploration or hybrid approach is required. However, for stable uncomplicated cases, medical therapy alone is sufficient.

Abstract
Arterial dissection is a well-recognized pathology often seen in Vascular Surgery offices and Emergency Departments alike; however, visceral arterial dissection is an extremely rare, small subset of this entity. With that, an isolated celiac artery dissection as presented within this report is an exceptionally unique pathology that has scarcely been reported, and due to this, management guidelines are undefined. Given the viscera supplied by the celiac artery, many intra-abdominal structures are at risk for ischemia when damage to the celiac artery occurs, potentially witnessed by this report. Due to the exclusivity of this pathology, we are compelled to report the case of a 71-year-old male who presented with complaints of abdominal pain and was found to have an acute celiac artery dissection, which likely resulted in severe ischemic duodenitis, as well as possibly acute pancreatitis, and questionable influence on cholecystitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Spontaneous Isolated Coeliac Artery Dissection (SICAD) is a rare disease with few reports of management strategies. This study reports the mid- to long-term outcomes of conservative management and endovascular intervention of SICAD treatment. METHODS Sixteen patients presenting with symptomatic SICAD from September 2006 to October 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. The clinical manifestations, initial radiological findings, methods of treatment, and serial follow up studies were analysed. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 51.2 ± 7.9 years, with a median follow up of 33.3 (range 1.0-118.9) months. Four patients received early intervention because of aneurysmal dilatation or distal hypoperfusion. Four patients who received conservative management showed progression of disease and were recommended for delayed intervention. Although collaterals prevented further hepatic ischaemia, one of these four patients failed in delayed intervention because of extensive thrombi completely occluding the hepatic artery. In the remaining eight patients who were managed conservatively, three (37.5%) showed regression of disease, one (12.5%) showed partial regression, and five (62.5%) showed no change in intimal flap or thrombosis, but all had symptomatic improvement. The median follow up duration for the seven patients who underwent successful intervention was 77.3 (range 34.3-118.9) months, and all stenting remained patent during the follow up period. CONCLUSION Early intervention in symptomatic SICAD patients may be necessary in over 50% of patients, and endovascular stenting has durable long term outcomes.

Abstract
We describe the case of a 49-year-old man who presented with a 6-day history of epigastric abdominal pain radiating to his right shoulder which started suddenly after swinging a golf club. A CT angiography of the abdomen was performed which showed dissection of the coeliac trunk extending into the splenic artery and splenic infarct. Anticoagulation was initially started but discontinued due to a small retroperitoneal haemorrhage. The patient remained stable and was discharged on aspirin 325 mg for 1 month followed by aspirin 81 mg. We present this case as well as a review of previously reported cases of splenic infarct due to spontaneous coeliac trunk dissection with the treatments employed as well as the outcomes.

Abstract
A pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysm develops due to increased flow through the pancreaticoduodenal arcade in the setting of celiac or superior mesenteric artery occlusion. Additionally, there is no evidence on the computed tomography scan or angiography images that the dissection process extends to the PDA arcade. Moreover, the optimal treatment protocols for PDA aneurysms with celiac artery obstruction and for celiac artery dissection are controversial. We report 2 cases of ruptured PDA aneurysms caused by celiac artery obstruction due to celiac artery dissection in which the aneurysm was excluded, but celiac artery revascularization was not performed successfully. Our cases indicate that endovascular management for ruptured PDA aneurysms and conservative management for celiac artery obstruction due to celiac artery dissection are feasible as first-line treatment in such cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Isolated spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and celiac artery (CA) remains a rare condition; however, it has been increasingly noted incidentally on diagnostic imaging. The purpose of this study was to examine the natural history and outcomes of patients presenting with isolated spontaneous mesenteric artery dissection (SMAD). We hypothesized that most SMADs can be treated nonoperatively. METHODS This was a single-center retrospective review of patients presenting with the diagnosis of SMAD between 2006 and 2016. Data analysis included demographics, clinical data, radiologic review, treatment, and outcomes. RESULTS A total of 77 patients were found to have CA dissection, SMA dissection, or both in the absence of aortic dissection diagnosed on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The average age was 56 years (range, 26-86 years), 80% were male, and 10 patients (13%) had underlying connective tissue disorders. The majority, 64%, presented with symptoms including abdominal pain, back pain, and chest pain; the remaining 36% were asymptomatic. Combined SMA and CA dissection was found in 14 (18%) patients; 33 (43%) presented with isolated CA dissection, and 30 (39%) presented with isolated SMA dissection. Only four patients required intervention. Mesenteric bypass was performed in two patients, and SMA endarterectomy with patch angioplasty was performed in one patient for signs of bowel ischemia. No patient required bowel resection. The two bypasses were anastomosed to a branch of the SMA, and complete lumen restoration was seen on long-term imaging follow-up. One patient underwent stent grafting of the CA and hepatic artery for aneurysmal degeneration 1 month after diagnosis. The remaining 73 patients were managed nonoperatively; 40 (52%) were treated with a short course of anticoagulation, 23 (30%) were treated with antiplatelet therapy, and 10 (13%) were treated with observation alone. No other late interventions or recurrences were noted during a mean follow-up of 21 months. CONCLUSIONS Whereas isolated SMAD poses a risk of visceral ischemia, most patients presenting with this diagnosis can be treated nonoperatively with a short course of antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy. Only a small number of patients require surgical revascularization for bowel ischemia.

Abstract
Spontaneous isolated celiac artery dissection is a rare disease and patients without evidence of significant complications often resolve with medical therapy alone; however, the extension of the dissection can lead to more serious complications including aneurysmal dilatation, complete occlusion, and rupture of a visceral artery. In these patients, optimal management has not yet been clearly defined and treatment primarily depends on clinical presentation and lesions identified on imaging studies. This case report demonstrates the conservative management of spontaneous celiac artery dissection. A 49-year-old male presented to our emergency department with acute and persistent abdominal pain. A contrast-enhanced computed tomogram (CT) of abdomen showed a pseudoaneurysm involving the ostium of the celiac artery with focal dissection, with no evidence of thrombosis or infarction to the visceral organs. Ultrasound studies demonstrated a prominent but patent celiac artery with adequate distal perfusion. Therefore, conservative medical management with antiplatelet therapy was initiated in our patient. Follow-up repeat ultrasound three weeks following discharge showed no evidence of dissection flap, stenosis, thrombosis or increase in the size of the aneurysm. This case report demonstrates that conservative medical management with antiplatelet therapy can be sufficient in treating spontaneous isolated celiac artery dissection with pseudoaneurysm formation. We suggest endovascular or surgical intervention should be reserved for patients who present with hemodynamic instability, or other serious complications, such as aneurysm rupture or visceral infarction.

Abstract
Spontaneous celiac artery dissection caused by fibromuscular dysplasia is rare. Subsequent thrombosis and occlusion of the celiac trunk can result in intestinal ischemia and hepatic failure. We describe a case of spontaneous celiac artery dissection with an associated pseudoaneurysm caused by fibromuscular dysplasia, extending into the common hepatic artery. An endovascular intervention featuring robotic-assisted celiac artery cannulation with stent-assisted coil embolization resulted in successful treatment.

Abstract
To the best of our knowledge, we present the 25th case of isolated celiac artery dissection. This is the first case of hypertensive emergency induced spontaneous isolated celiac trunk dissection in literature. Visceral artery dissection is a rare commodity, and celiac artery dissection is less common than dissection in the SMA. It is a difficult diagnosis to make on history and physical alone, necessitating contrast enhanced CT imaging. Our patient was managed nonoperatively with a labetalol drip and did well.
Introduction To our knowledge the most recent article on celiac dissection was published in 2015 and reported 24 known cases of spontaneous isolated celiac trunk dissection [2]. While some of those cases reported hypertension as a risk factor, no other case presents as hypertensive emergency with an isolated celiac artery dissection. Presentation of case A 43 year-old man with a past medical history of uncontrolled hypertension, for which he had reportedly been non-compliant with follow-up, presented with complaints of severe, sudden-onset epigastric pain which was non-radiating and constant for 1 hour prior to arrival. On CT an intimal flap was noted within the celiac trunk, starting at the origin and extending into the left gastric, splenic, and the common hepatic arteries. Discussion The most common symptom in patients with celiac artery dissection is acute or chronic epigastric or abdominal pain [2,4,9,11]. The crux of the diagnosis of this condition relies on contrast enhanced CT. The superiority of the CT scan is because of the contrast tracking capability [11]. The two most common risk factors for celiac artery dissection are hypertension followed by vasculitis. Patients can be managed nonoperatively or with one of a few operative procedures. Conservative treatment consists of anticoagulants, antihypertensives, and antiplatelet therapy [2]. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, we present the 25th case of isolated celiac artery dissection. This is the first case of hypertensive emergency induced spontaneous isolated celiac trunk dissection in literature. Our patient was managed primarily with a labetalol drip.

Abstract
An isolated dissection of the celiac artery is an extremely rare condition that requires a high level of suspicion to evoke the diagnosis. Once established, the natural course is unpredictable in view of the discrepancies in its management requiring a case-by-case analysis. In this paper, we report an unusual case of spontaneous abdominal pain that was diagnosed with celiac and splenic artery rupture secondary to physical stress. This paper underlines the necessity to maintain a high level of suspicion for arterial dissections and we also review the management plan in such cases.

Abstract
Isolated spontaneous dissection of the celiac trunk is rarely diagnosed in acute abdominal pain. We present two cases of celiac trunk and splenic artery dissection with splenic infarction. Patients were successfully managed and stabilized by medical treatment. Isolated celiac trunk dissection can be fatal, therefore providers should be careful not to overlook this entity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arterial dissection is defined as the cleavage of the arterial wall by an intramural hematoma. Reports of dissection of the celiac and/or superior mesenteric artery are rare; as far as we know, only 24 cases of spontaneous isolated celiac trunk dissection, and 71 cases of spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection have been reported. CASE REPORT The case presents a 48-year-old male with a sudden-onset epigastric pain. A Computed Tomography Angiography of the thoracoabdominal aorta was applied and dissections of both the celiac artery and SMA were determined. A conservative therapeutic approach was preferred and the patient was discharged with anticoagulant and antihypertensive therapy. CONCLUSIONS Although rare, spontaneous isolated celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery dissections must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of the epigastric pain in the emergency room. Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography Angiography examination is the method of choice in the diagnosis.

Abstract
A 60-year-old woman with mitral valve prolapse, chronic low back pain, and a 30-pack year smoking history presented for a second admission of poorly controlled mid-back pain 10 days after her first admission. She had concomitant epigastric pain, sharp/burning in quality, radiating to the right side and to the mid-back, not associated with food nor improving with pain medications. She denied nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, dark stools, or blood per rectum. Our purpose was to determine the cause of the patient's epigastric pain. Physical examination revealed epigastric and mid-back tenderness on palpation. Labs were normal except for a hemoglobin drop from 14 to 12.1 g/dL over 2 days. Abdominal ultrasound and subsequent esophagogastroduodenoscopy were normal. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomographic (CT) scan revealed the development of a spontaneous celiac artery dissection as the cause of the epigastric pain. The patient was observed without stenting and subsequent CT angiography 4 days later did not reveal worsening of the dissection. She was discharged on aspirin and clopidogrel with outpatient follow-up. Thus far, less than 100 cases of isolated spontaneous celiac artery dissections have been reported. The advent of CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging has increasingly enabled its detection. Risk factors may include hypertension, arteriosclerosis, smoking, and cystic medial necrosis. There is a 5:1 male to female ratio with an average presenting age of 55. Management of dissections may include surgical repair, endovascular stenting, and selective embolization. Limited dissections can be managed conservatively with anti-platelet and/or anticoagulation agents and strict blood pressure control, as done in our patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isolated spontaneous dissection of visceral arteries, not associated with aortic dissection, is a rare condition. To date, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment strategy. PURPOSE To investigate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of percutaneous embolization for the treatment of isolated and symptomatic dissecting aneurysm of the celiac artery. MATERIAL AND METHODS From March 2010 to October 2011, four patients were diagnosed at our institution with symptomatic dissecting aneurysm of the celiac trunk. All patients had acute abdominal pain, two had intra-abdominal hemorrhage and bleeding shock. Three patients underwent elective "trapping" embolization of the celiac trunk with Amplatzer vascular plugs in the hepatic and splenic artery and celiac trunk, and coils in left gastric artery. One patient had a splenic artery rupture and underwent selective embolization of this vessel with platinum-fiber coils. RESULTS Angiography and postoperative CT scan confirmed artery occlusion after embolization in all cases. Revascularization of celiac trunk branches was obtained via collaterals. No procedure-related adverse events occurred during follow-up (median, 4.5 months; range, 3-24 months) and vessel occlusion was maintained. CONCLUSION Isolated and symptomatic dissecting aneurysm of the celiac trunk can be successfully managed by embolization techniques with good short- to mid-term results.

Abstract
GOALS To evaluate the clinical usefulness of the color Doppler and contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasonography (CEH-EUS) in diagnosing visceral vascular diseases and in assessing morphologic and hemodynamic characteristics required for optimized patient management. BACKGROUND Mesenteric arteries are easily accessible with EUS because of its proximities to the gastrointestinal tract. STUDY EUS was performed in 12 patients with clinically suspected visceral vascular disease, as determined by computed tomography (CT) scan between February 2012 and March 2013. Conventional B-mode, color Doppler, and CEH-EUS was performed to evaluate vascular status of the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery (SMA). RESULTS CT scan imaging suggested arterial dissection in 9 patients; arterial stenosis or occlusion in 2 patients, and periarterial soft tissue cuffing in 1 patient. EUS accurately identified all the visceral vascular lesions of 11 patients and 1 patient with suspected SMA dissection on CT imaging was proven to be normal by EUS. EUS also identified one undefined dissection not detected on abdominal CT. EUS examination revealed vascular intimal flap in 5 patients and blood flow within the true lumen and thrombi within the false lumen in 8 patients. In addition, the stenotic area could be calculated using color Doppler EUS. Two patients underwent surgical thrombectomy and angioplasty because of total occlusion of SMA on color Doppler and CEH-EUS. CONCLUSIONS The combination of color Doppler and CEH-EUS may be a promising diagnostic modality to assess the splanchnic artery without exposure to radiation. Moreover, EUS is a useful tool to determine the appropriate treatment options for patients with isolated mesenteric artery dissection.

Abstract
Background Isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (IDSMA) remains a rare diagnosis. However, new diagnostic means such as computed tomography makes it possible to detect even asymptomatic patients. If patients present symptomatic on admission, the risk of bowel infarction makes immediate therapy necessary. Today, endovascular techniques are often successfully used; however, open surgery remains important for special indications. In this paper, we present two cases with IDSMA and show why open surgical repair is still important in current treatment concepts. Methods Two cases with ISDMA that presented in our department from January 1, 2014 to June 1, 2014 are described. Data collection was performed retrospectively. Additionally, a review of articles which reported small cases series on patients with IDSMA within the past five years is provided. Results Both patients underwent open surgical repair following interdisciplinary consultation. Both patients were transferred to the intensive care unit after surgical repair and needed bowel rest, nasogastric suction and intravenous fluid therapy. CT scans were performed within the first week after operation. Platelet aggregation inhibitors were used in both cases as postoperative medication. Both patients survived and are able to participate in everyday activities. Conclusion Open surgical repair remains important in cases of anatomic variants of visceral arteries and suspected bowel infarction. Therefore, it is important that knowledge about open surgical techniques still be taught and trained.

Abstract
Dissection of the visceral arteries happens infrequently, with the superior mesenteric artery being the most commonly affected. Isolated dissection of the celiac trunk is rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the medical literature. We report the case of a 51-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and was subsequently diagnosed with a celiac trunk dissection with secondary pancreatitis and pancreatic infarction. The patient's symptoms improved with conservative medical management. We review the current literature involving celiac trunk dissection and its management, and provide discussion regarding this unrecognized complication of pancreatitis.

We report 2 cases of complicated spontaneous dissection of the celiac artery, which were successfully treated by a stent graft. The first patient was a 47-year-old man who presented with acute abdominal pain. CT scan showed ruptured saccular aneurysm with surrounding retroperitoneal hematoma. The second patient was a 57-year-old man with progressive dissecting aneurysm. Endovascular stent graft was placed in the celiac trunk to control bleeding, and to prevent rupture in each patient. Follow-up CT scans showed complete obliteration of a dissecting aneurysm.

Abstract
A dissecção espontânea das artérias viscerais é um evento relativamente raro. Dor abdominal súbita no epigástrio é o sintoma mais frequentemente manifestado pelos pacientes. O avanço das técnicas de exames de imagem possibilitou o diagnóstico deste evento com maior facilidade, aumentando a incidência das dissecções das artérias viscerais. O tratamento clínico conservador, a revascularização cirúrgica, e a terapia endovascular são as três possíveis opções terapêuticas. Neste artigo, relatamos os casos de dois pacientes com dissecção espontânea do tronco celíaco conduzidos de formas diversas, de acordo com a apresentação clínica e exames de imagem, além de realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre esta doença.

Abstract
We report two cases of ruptured pancreaticoduodenal arcade aneurysms that were successfully treated by embolotherapy. In these cases, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, sagittal reformed images, and angiography revealed celiac artery stenoses due to compression by the median arcuate ligament. Computed tomography also showed acute localized dissection in the distal celiac axis, suggesting that aneurysmal rupture had occurred immediately after development of the dissection. When unruptured pancreaticoduodenal arcade aneurysms are identified in the context of celiac artery dissection, the possibility of rupture may be high and requires strict observation and consideration of embolotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of clinical characteristics with serial imaging findings of symptomatic spontaneous celiac artery dissection treated by conservative management. METHODS Eight consecutive, hemodynamically stable patients with symptomatic spontaneous celiac artery dissection without associated aortic dissection that received non-operative treatments were included in this study. Their clinical characteristics, treatment methods, serial imaging findings and outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Acute left flank pain related to splenic infarction was the most common clinical manifestation. Initial contrast-enhanced dynamic computed tomography scan showed celiac artery dissection with partial thrombosis in all eight patients and involvement of branch vessels in 7. Full anticoagulation was carried out immediately after the diagnosis in seven patients. All patients, except one with endovascular stent placement, were asymptomatic after successful conservative management and follow-up computed tomography scan showed preservation of distal perfusion with ongoing regression of false lumen in five patients. After a mean follow-up of 16 months, there was no mortality or morbidity related to the dissection. CONCLUSIONS Serial imaging findings showed that conservative management of celiac artery dissection can be performed successfully in selective patients with stable hemodynamics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is uncommon. Because of its rarity, the risk factors, aetiology and natural history are unclear, and there is no consensus on the optimal treatment strategy. METHODS Seven consecutive patients with symptomatic spontaneous isolated SMA dissection who received conservative treatment between March 2003 and February 2008 were included in this study. Their clinical characteristics, treatment methods and outcomes were analysed retrospectively. RESULTS Acute abdominal pain was the most common clinical manifestation. Initial contrast-enhanced dynamic computed tomography (CT) showed isolated SMA dissection with partial thrombosis in all seven patients. Full anticoagulation was carried out immediately after the diagnosis. Clinical symptoms disappeared within 14 days and follow-up CT showed complete resolution of the dissection in four patients. After a mean follow-up of 23 months, there was no mortality or morbidity related to the dissection. CONCLUSION In patients with symptomatic spontaneous isolated dissection of the SMA, conservative management is feasible if there is no evidence of bowel infarction or bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spontaneous splanchnic dissection (SSD) occurs infrequently and has a poorly defined natural history. Few studies address the application, timing, and consequences of therapeutic options. Our goal was to apply conservative (non-operative) management in the care of each patient, reserving interventions for specific indications that may be predictive of adverse outcomes. METHODS Between 2003 and 2008, 10 consecutive patients (mean age 54.7-years-old, 70.0% male) presented with 11 SSDs involving either the celiac artery (n = 6), superior mesenteric artery (n = 3), or both (n = 1). Each patient had acute, spontaneous onset of persistent abdominal pain and was diagnosed with SSD following multidetector row computed tomographic angiography (CTA). Non-operative management (anticoagulation, anti-impulse therapy, analgesics, and serial CTA examinations) was initially used in 9 patients. Endovascular (n = 2) or operative (n = 2) intervention was performed either immediately (n = 1) or following failed medical management (n = 3) in 4 patients for specific indications that included persistent symptoms (n = 3), expansion of false lumen (n = 3), and/or radiologic malperfusion (n = 3). RESULTS All patients were asymptomatic after successful non-operative management or following intervention. No morbidity occurred. Upon complete follow-up (mean 13.4 months, range, 2 to 36 months), all patients remained asymptomatic. Preservation of distal perfusion with either thrombosis or ongoing regression of false lumen was achieved in 5 patients who received only non-operative management and in 4 patients following intervention. A stable chronic dissection was present in 1 patient who had only non-operative management. CONCLUSION Successful outcomes following SSD may be achieved with either non-operative therapy alone or intervention if persistent symptoms, expansion of false lumen, and/or malperfusion occur. The unpredictable response of the false lumen to conservative management mandates close, long-term follow-up. Endovascular and operative interventions produced similar outcomes in a small number of patients with limited follow-up. Although SSD is currently perceived as rare, the increasing use of CTA may prove that the true incidence has been underestimated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An isolated spontaneous superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection is the most frequent type of digestive artery dissection. Hepatic, splenic, left gastric, and celiac artery dissections are much less frequently observed. Dissection of the SMA is usually an extension of an aortic dissection. A true isolated SMA dissection is a relatively rare clinical cause of abdominal pathology. Only 106 cases (including the present case) of isolated spontaneous SMA dissection without associated aortic dissection were identified from the literature. METHODS Our vascular team managed a 56-year-old woman with spontaneous SMA dissection conservatively. Prior to the initiation of systemic anticoagulation, she underwent diagnostic laparoscopy. A repeat angiogram done at 2 months showed complete resolution of the dissection. She has been repeatedly examined for 5 years, which is the longest follow-up mentioned in the literature. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first case wherein laparoscopy was used to confirm the absence of mesenteric ischemia in acute presentation of SMA dissection. Using information from a review of the literature, we have designed a management protocol for this rare condition.
