Abstract
- A 70-year-old woman, with history of asymptomatic isolated superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection was admitted for acute abdominal pain. Computed tomography showed ruptured isolated SMA dissection. Endovascular treatment was chosen over surgical repair because of prior abdominal surgeries. Because an angulated SMA trunk and compressed true lumen by the dilated false lumen prevented the insertion of a guidewire into the SMA via the transfemoral artery, transmesenteric approach under laparotomy was selected. After creating a pull-through condition from the SMA to the left brachial artery, a successful stent graft placement with adequate hemostasis was achieved. The aneurysm shrunk remarkably, with no complication at follow-up.<br /> (Copyright © 2011 Society for Vascular Surgery. Published by Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.)
