On Demand Webinar 100522: Median Arcuate Ligament Compression (Syndrome)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript is of a presentation by Marybeth Georges on median arcuate ligament compression syndrome (MALS), an abdominal condition that causes various symptoms such as pain after eating, bloating, and weight loss. Marybeth discusses the diagnostic criteria for MALS, which includes high velocities in the celiac artery at rest and a significant decrease in velocities with deep inspiration. She also mentions the possibility of compression in other abdominal arteries, such as the splenic and hepatic arteries. Treatment options for MALS include open surgical repair or laparoscopic robotic surgical repair. Marybeth provides case studies to illustrate the diagnostic process and treatment outcomes for patients with MALS. She concludes by highlighting the difficulty of diagnosing MALS due to its nonspecific symptomology and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to treatment. The video transcript also includes questions and answers from the audience.
