Figure 7b. Percutaneous treatment of AA with twin stent placement in the celiac trunk and SMA. The patient was a 75-year-old man with typical symptoms of AA and complex vascular disease of the peripheral arteries. (a) Panoramic 3D VR image displays a bilateral external iliac arterial occlusion (arrows) and a left axillofemoral bypass (arrowhead). (b-d) VR and MIP images show high-grade stenoses of the celiac trunk and SMA with scattered calcifications. Stents were placed in both vessels. (e-h) Curved MPR images of the celiac trunk (e, f) and SMA (g, h) obtained before (e, g) and 4 months after (f, h) stent placement show how complete patency was achieved in both vessels.
