Celiac artery obstruction after arteriography.
The first case of celiac artery obstruction due to selective arteriography is reported. Impairment of flow to liver and duodenum was present; but the patient recovered uneventfully with non-operative treatment. Management of this problem centers around observation, liver support, and putting the gut at rest. If non-operative treatment is failing, operation should be done, vascular reconstruction carried out, and the duodenum inspected to ensure its viability.
