What was the reason for the CT of the abdomen? If you have the abdominal pain or the same symptoms which you had years ago before the angioplasty with stent, the stent may be partially obstructive and the celiac trunk could be distended before the stenotic part. Your doctor should discuss your case with radiologist and the vascular surgeon for the next step, if needed.
