Isolated Spontaneous Dissection of the Superior Mesenteric Artery: Percutaneous Stent Placement in Two Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the case of a 57-year old man suffering from acute abdominal cramps. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scanner revealed an isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery. The pain decreased within a few days under conservative treatment and monitoring by angioscans showed a stabilization of the dissection. This clinical case report is accompanied by a literature review on this rare pathology.

Acutely aggravated dissecting flap and consequent occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) by simple contrast passage during initial angiography for percutaneous stent placement is a uncommon event, which usually is not reported. After analysis of many factors that underlie development of such complications, we present herein one case of successful treatment of isolated SMA dissection ...

متن کاملStent Placement for Acute Superior Mesenteric Artery Occlusion Associated with Type B Aortic Dissection
A 50-year-old man had a mesenteric ischemia related to superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion associated with a type B aortic dissection. We decided to perform stent placement for the SMA and could avoid mesenteric ischemia. We think the stent placement in the SMA might be an option for the treatment of mesenteric ischemia caused by aortic dissection.
