Acute celiac artery occlusion secondary to blunt trauma: Two case reports

Abstract Background Blunt celiac artery injury is extremely rare, but it is easy to ignore. The clinical manifestation of celiac artery injuries is usually atypical, so it is easy to fail to diagnose them. Case presentation: We report two cases of celiac artery occlusion after multiple trauma admitted, its mechanisms were motor vehicle collision and fall from height, respectively. The first patient was combined with severe liver injury, and the right hepatic arterial was embolized with coil assisted by the operation through the superior mesenteric artery. Both patients were managed with non-operation treatment, and no complications occurred during hospitalization. Conclusions For patients with celiac artery injury, conservative treatment is an important choice, but successful treatment still needs to be individualized based on the patient's condition.
