I77.4: Coeliac artery compression syndrome
A large artery in your abdomen has narrowed.
Arteries are blood vessels that transport blood away from the heart. They supply all the tissue in the body with oxygen-rich blood.
The artery that is affected supplies blood to the liver, stomach and the first part of the intestine, for example. If this artery narrows, one may have severe abdominal pain. The stomach pains often occur after one has eaten.
