Percutaneous endovascular recanalization of celiac artery in-stent occlusion – A case report

Abstract

We report a case of endovascular management of a patient who presented with occlusion of the stent in the Celiac artery. A 44-year-old male presented with postprandial angina, and a history of Celiac artery Stenting done with a Herculink Elite® Renal Stent system 3 years earlier. The patient was successfully treated by endovascular recanalization of the celiac artery stent with percutaneous transcatheter balloon angioplasty and stenting. In this case we discuss the various techniques and hardware used in a challenging peripheral transcatheter intervention for successful revascularization of the celiac artery.
