ICD-Code I77.4: Coeliac artery compression syndrome
An artery in your abdomen is 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 affected artery supplies blood to organs such as the liver, stomach and the first part of the intestine. If this artery is narrowed, it can cause abdominal pain. The abdominal pain typically occurs after eating. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation may also occur.
