The dorsal pancreatic artery is a part of peripancreatic arcade connecting celiac artery to transpancreatic artery. A dorsal pancreatic artery aneurysm derived from dissection of celiac artery is a rare pathology, and it sometimes requires ingenious strategy in an endovascular surgery. Hereby, we report a case of a patient who underwent coil embolization for dorsal pancreatic artery aneurysm due to celiac artery dissection by applying transcirculation approach of a balloon catheter through the peripancreatic arcade, which was successfully achieved.

Background and Aims: There are increasing reports on case series on spontaneous isolated mesenteric artery dissection, that is, dissections of the superior mesenteric artery and celiac artery, mainly due to improved diagnostic capacity of high-resolution computed tomography angiography performed around the clock. A few case–control studies are now available, while randomized controlled trials are awaited. Material and Methods: The present systematic review based on 97 original studies offers a comprehensive overview on risk factors, management, conservative therapy, morphological modeling of dissection, and prognosis. Results and Conclusions: Male gender, hypertension, and smoking are risk factors for isolated mesenteric artery dissection, while the frequency of diabetes mellitus is reported to be low. Large aortomesenteric angle has also been considered to be a factor for superior mesenteric artery dissection. The overwhelming majority of patients can be conservatively treated without the need of endovascular or open operations. Conservative therapy consists of blood pressure lowering therapy, analgesics, and initial bowel rest, whereas there is no support for antithrombotic agents. Complete remodeling of the dissection after conservative therapy was found in 43% at mid-term follow-up. One absolute indication for surgery and endovascular stenting of the superior mesenteric artery is development of peritonitis due to bowel infarction, which occurs in 2.1% of superior mesenteric artery dissections and none in celiac artery dissections. The most documented end-organ infarction in celiac artery dissections is splenic infarctions, which occurs in 11.2%, and is a condition that should be treated conservatively. The frequency of ruptured pseudoaneurysm in the superior mesenteric artery and celiac artery dissection is very rare, 0.4%, and none of these patients were in shock at presentation. Endovascular therapy with covered stents should be considered in these patients.

Background: Cervical artery dissection (CeAD) is one of the most frequent manifestations of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). However, the risk factors for CeAD are unknown. We investigated factors associated with CeAD in the ARCADIA (Assessment of Renal and Cervical Artery Dysplasia) registry and performed a pooled analysis of published and unpublished data. Methods: Patients included were women and men ≥18 years, diagnosed with renal, cervical, or intracranial artery FMD, prospectively recruited at 16 university hospitals in France and Belgium. Diagnosis of CeAD was established by stroke specialists in each participating center, according to standard diagnostic criteria. Associations between CeAD and potential determinants were assessed by calculations of crude and adjusted odds ratios. Results: Among 469 patients (415 women) with FMD, 68 (14.5%) had CeAD. CeAD patients were younger, more likely to be men and to have a history of migraine, and less likely to have a history of hypertension, than non-CeAD patients. In the multivariate analysis, male sex (OR=2.75 ; CI95% 1.39-5.46), history of migraine (OR=1.93 ; 1.08-3.44), age >50 years (OR=0.41 ; 0.23-0.74), history of hypertension (OR=0.35 ; 0.19-0.63), and the number of vascular beds involved by FMD >=3 (OR=2.46 ; 1.13-5.35) remained significantly associated with CeAD. We collected data from 2 published studies and unpublished data from the US and the European Registries. There was no overlap between studies. In a pooled analysis (289 CeAD in 1933 patients), male sex was significantly associated with CeAD (pooled OR=2.04 ; 1.41-2.95, I2=0%, Figure). Conclusion: In patients with FMD, male sex and multisite involvement are associated with of CeAD, in addition to other previous known risk factors.

Introduction: Non-atherosclerotic spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) primarily affects women and may be associated with arteriopathies such as fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). We aimed to describe patient characteristics, management, and outcome of SCAD at a large referral center. Methods: We queried our institutional cardiac cath database for SCAD diagnoses from 2000-2014. The electronic medical record was also queried for consecutive SCAD patients seen in a specialty arteriopathy clinic from 2010-2015. Details regarding presentation, treatment, and outcome of SCAD were collected. Trends in management over two time periods (2000-2009, 2010-2015) were compared. Results: There were 96 SCAD events in 75 patients (16 patients had one recurrence, one had three events, and one had four distinct events). Mean age at presentation was 47 years, 83% were female, and 84% presented with ACS. The LAD was the most commonly affected vessel (54%). Most SCAD events were treated medically (52%). Of 41 events treated with PCI, 19 were complicated by hematoma extension. Four PCI patients required subsequent CABG. Imaging of other arterial beds increased over time, with 2/3 patients receiving vascular ultrasound to evaluate for renal or carotid FMD in the more recent time period (Table). Of those evaluated for FMD, 45% had imaging findings compatible with multifocal FMD. Significant carotid tortuosity was present in 38%, with four demonstrating a classic “S surve” appearance recently shown to be a variant presentation of FMD. All patients survived to index hospitalization discharge, however, 24% of patients had at least one recurrence. Conclusions: SCAD affects predominantly young females and often manifests as ACS. Findings of FMD or carotid tortuosity are frequent and recognition of SCAD as a potential manifestation of FMD is increasing in our institution. In support of other reports, recurrence of SCAD is not rare and PCI attempts are complicated nearly half of the time.

Nearly 800,000 strokes are reported in the United States annually, with an economic impact upward of $33 billion. Carotid artery disease, familiar to all vascular surgeons, accounts for just over one fifth of these strokes. However, these cases reflect an opportunity for the surgeon to intervene and mitigate the substantial burden of stroke. This review includes the epidemiology of stroke in the United States and the carotid artery and noncarotid etiologies of stroke, including atherosclerotic disease, fibromuscular dysplasia, carotid artery dissection, and cardioembolism. The clinical presentations of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and transient ischemia attacks are examined, as are the major findings expected in the patient history and physical examination. Strategies for further evaluation of the patient are discussed, including the use of sonographic imaging of the carotid artery and the relative advantages and disadvantages among the dominant modes of brain imaging. New updates to the review include interventional approaches toward the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, as well as the latest strategies regarding the timing of carotid endarterectomy after stroke and the utility of carotid artery stenting in these patients, with active areas of current research highlighted. Figures show a computed tomographic (CT) angiogram of fibromuscular dysplasia of an internal carotid artery, a CT angiogram of an internal carotid artery dissection showing a defect in the dissection, a CT scan demonstrating hemorrhagic conversion of cardioembolic stroke, a CT scan of acute thalamic hemorrhage, a CT scan of evolving ischemic stroke, a T2-weighted image demonstrating acute left frontal stroke and remote right frontal stroke, T1- and T2-weighted images of right parietal ischemic stroke, and M1 occlusion of a middle cerebral artery treated successfully with transcatheter thrombectomy. Tables list Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound and University of Washington criteria for duplex ultrasound diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis.   This review contains 8 figures, 8 tables, and 68 references. Keywords: Carotid stenosis, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, endovascular therapy, thrombolysis, infarct, hemorrhagic stroke, atherosclerosis, embolism
