ABSTRACT
Las afecciones de la arteria innominada, o tronco braquiocefálico, son infrecuentes; se pueden presentar como fístulas arteriovenosas, pseudoaneurismas postraumáticos, rupturas o disecciones, así como aneurismas verdaderos. Usualmente, se detectan como masas asintomáticas que pueden llegar a comprometer la vida del paciente o generar complicaciones tromboembólicas en el sistema nervioso central o en el miembro superior derecho. Se presenta la revisión de la literatura científica sobre aneurismas de la arteria innominada y se describe un caso tratado quirúrgicamente.
Aneurysms of the innominate artery are widely considered to be rare entities; the innominate artery pathology includes a myriad of entities such as, arteriovenous fistulas, post traumatic pseudo aneurysms, rupture and dissection, as well as true aneurysms. Usually detected as asymptomatic masses, such aneurysms may cause life-threatening complications, including distal embolism to the central nervous system or upper extremity. We present a literature review and describe our experience with one patient that underwent surgical treatment for an aneurysm of the innominate artery.

Los problemas vasculares mesentéricos son infrecuentes pero, cuando se presentan, pueden ser catastróficos. La isquemia mesentérica crónica es una entidad caracterizada por la obstrucción de los vasos mesentéricos; se manifiesta por dolor abdominal después de las comidas, desnutrición y miedo a comer. La mortalidad de la isquemia aguda es de 50 a 70 %. El manejo quirúrgico es la terapia de elección con excelentes resultados. El objetivo del tratamiento de la isquemia mesentérica crónica es solucionar los síntomas con un procedimiento efectivo y duradero, disminuyendo el riesgo de isquemia aguda. El tratamiento óptimo aun es discutido aunque la cirugía abierta se considera el método de referencia del manejo; no obstante, se asocia a una morbimortalidad importante. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con una isquemia mesentérica crónica, que se manejó con cirugía abierta y excelente resultado clínico y nutricional. Se hace una revisión extensa de la literatura científica actual.
Mesenteric vascular problems are infrequent, but may be catastrophic. Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a morbid disease that results from progressive stenotic disease of the mesenteric vessels. CMI presents with postprandial abdominal pain, inanition, fear of food And weight loss. Untreated,The mortality in acute intestinal ischemia is high (50%-70%). Vascular reconstruction is remarkably successful in relieving the symptoms of chronic intestinal ischemia . The goal of treatment for CMI is a safe and effective revascularization that provides the patient with immediate and durable relief of symptoms, minimal procedural risk, and protection from morbidity and mortality associated with intestinal ischemia. Optimal treatment for patients with CMI remains controversial and challenging. Open surgical revascularization is still considered the standard of care, but may be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We presented a patient with severe abdominal pain after meals, repeatedly. Angiography revealed severe stenosis and occlusion of the super mesenteric artery (SMA). Endovascular treatment was initially unsuccessful, after that we did a open bypass with full clinical and nutritional recovery.

Los aneurismas del tronco celíaco son un problema clínico infrecuente. La mayoría de los pacientes son sintomáticos al momento del diagnóstico; sin embargo, ocasionalmente se detectan de manera incidental durante estudios imagenológicos para otras enfermedades. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 54 años con aneurisma sintomático del tronco celíaco, diagnosticado por tomografía e intervenido quirúrgicamente de manera satisfactoria.
Aneurysm of the celiac artery is an uncommon clinical problem; fewer than 180 cases have been reported in the world's medical literature. Most patients are symptomatic at the time of diagnosis. However, occasionally such aneurysms are detected incidentally during diagnostic imaging for other diseases. We present of a 54 years-old man who had a symptomatic celiac artery aneurysm detected by Computed tomography. The patient underwent successful resection of the aneurysm and revascularization of the celiac artery common hepatic and splenic arteries with use of an PTFE graft.
