[Mesenteric angina: infrequent cause of chronic pain in hemodialysis patient]. / Angina mesentérica: causa infrecuente de dolor crónico en paciente en hemodiálisis.

We report a 73 years old male undergoing chronic hemodialysis with a history of seven years of abdominal pain and weight loss. A mesenteric angiography disclosed a critical stenosis of the celiac artery and a partial stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery. Other causes of abdominal pain were excluded. The patient was subjected to a successful angioplasty with stent placement that resulted in a complete relief of the pain.
