ABSTRACT
Mesenteric ischemic symptoms appear only when two of the three major splanchnic arteries from the abdominal aorta are involved. Recently, we encountered a case of chronic mesenteric ischemia in a 50-year-old female patient caused by atherosclerotic obstruction of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery. She was treated with a retrograde bypass graft from the right common iliac artery to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in a C-loop configuration. Complete revascularization is recommended for treatment of intestinal ischemia. When the celiac trunk is a not suitable recipient vessel, bypass grafting to the SMA alone appears to be both an effective and durable procedure for treating intestinal ischemia.
