Endovascular Stenting in a Rare Case of Multiple Spontaneous Visceral Arterial Dissections

Abstract

Spontaneous dissection of abdominal aortic branches is rare. Prior reports discuss incidents of isolated renal artery dissections and isolated splanchnic artery dissections; however, these types of dissections almost never occur simultaneously. Based on literature review, only one other case report has described spontaneous dissections of multiple visceral arteries. This brief report presents the successful endovascular treatment of a previously healthy man with spontaneous dissection of the proximal celiac artery and bilateral renal arteries. Due to the patient’s acute presentation and renal injury, stenting of bilateral renal arteries was undertaken with successful medical outcomes on postprocedural follow up.
