Will A High-grade Atheroma At Origin Of Celiac Axis Require Surgery?

With a high-grade atheroma at the origin of the celiac axis, estimated stenosis at 90%, and distal branches appearing well-perfused, does that usually require surgery? Also, there is a densely calsified atheroma at the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery. However, the IMA appears perfused to its root, and its more distal branches appear well-perfused, so would this necessarily require surgery?

If it is 90% stenosis then stenting may require, for other branches the medical management will do every thing, if there is narrowing of more than 70% then stenting is ideal hope this will help you in your taking the decision have nice day.
