Mesenteric ischemia caused by chronic occlusion of multiple mesenteric arteries: a case report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: PURPOSE: Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare disease that progresses with acute mesenteric ischemia, along with high mortality. How to choose the appropriate surgical method and the artery which should be opened first is the key to the treatment. CASE REPORT: In this study, we successively used vascular bypass and endovascular therapy to treat a case of complex chronic mesenteric ischemia. CONCLUSION: For mesenteric ischemic disease, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) should be opened preferentially. Arterial bypass or interventional therapy can be used, or both can be combined, to finally achieve the purpose of treatment.
