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.
