Surgery plus intraoperative balloon angioplasty was performed in a young man with the complaint of celiac ischemia because of median arcuate ligament syndrome. Division of the celiac ligaments and dilation of the celiac artery through the lienal artery was accomplished with success. The patient was found symptom free in one-year follow-up.
