Mesenteric ischemia is an infrequent condition that presents either acutely or chronically. Endovascular treatment of mesenteric artery stenosis or short-segment occlusion by balloon dilation or stenting represents a less invasive therapeutic alternative to open surgical intervention, particularly in patients with comorbidities. We describe a case of ostio proximal celiac artery occlusion that was treated using balloon-expandable stent through the left brachial approach.
