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.
