A common celiomesenteric trunk (CMT) is one of the several anatomic variations in the mesenteric circulation and occurs when the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries originate from a single common trunk. Because of its rarity, few lesions of the CMT have been reported. We herein present a case of atherosclerotic stenosis of the CMT of an 81-year-old female who presented with symptoms of mesenteric angina. To our knowledge, this represents the first reported case of endovascular treatment of CMT stenosis.
