Laparoscopic Release for Median Arcuate Ligament Compression Syndrome Associated with a Celiac-Mesenteric Trunk

Figure 4

Completed dissection reveals a 5 cm segment of the ventral abdominal aorta (AA). The short celiaco-mesenteric trunk (CMT) can be seen branching into the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and celiac trunk (CT). The three branches of the celiac trunk can be traced: common hepatic artery (CHA), splenic artery (SPL), and left gastric artery (LGA). The fibers of the divided median arcuate ligament are also visible (arrows).
