@cberry I am guessing that with robotic surgery they were not able to do a intraoperative ultrasound to check velocities after the ligament was clipped. The problem with that is that if the artery is deformed from the ligament it could still be causing stenosis. One thing to consider is having a cath angiogram and have them measure arterial pressures. You need a second opinion with a vascular surgeon who has experience with MALS. This breaks my heart! Scar tissue does not show up on imaging, but can contribute to problems. I am more concerned about the velocities of your celiac artery. Do you mind me asking what state you are in?
