A prospective study included 106 patients with celiac trunk compression syndrome (CTCS). Duplex scanning of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery and echocardiography were performed during their examination. The investigation revealed primary mitral valve prolapse (PMVP) in 78 (74%) patients. Operations of decompression of the celiac trunk were made on 101 patients. After operation the symptoms (neurovegetative included) were found to disappear. No authentic distinctions were revealed in the clinical semiology and postoperative course of patients with CTCS and with a combination of CTCS and PMVP.
