| 1. | Complications of MALS result from chronic compression of the celiac artery.
|
| 2. | It is also called " celiac artery compression syndrome ".
|
| 3. | Several theories attempt to explain the origin of pain caused by compression of the celiac artery.
|
| 4. | Further evaluation and confirmation can be obtained via angiography to investigate the anatomy of the celiac artery.
|
| 5. | Proximal celiac artery stenosis with poststenotic dilatation can be seen in other conditions affecting the celiac artery.
|
| 6. | Proximal celiac artery stenosis with poststenotic dilatation can be seen in other conditions affecting the celiac artery.
|
| 7. | Peak systolic velocities greater than 200 cm / s are suggestive of celiac artery stenosis associated with MALS.
|
| 8. | The "'celiac lymph nodes "'are associated with the branches of the celiac artery.
|
| 9. | The median arcuate ligament usually comes into contact with the aorta above the branch point of the celiac artery.
|
| 10. | One proposes that compression of the celiac artery causes ischemia, or decreased blood flow, to abdominal organs, leading to pain.
