Inferior mesenteric artery stenting: a solution for chronic mesenteric ischemia.
Perspectives in Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy 2009 September
Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare entity with potentially tragic consequences. Meanwhile, there is still no consensus regarding the most adequate treatment approach. The authors herein report a case of a 65-year-old woman with severe CMI as a result of an occlusion of both the celiac artery (CA) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and a significant stenosis of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) ostium. The patient was successfully treated by angioplasty and stenting of the IMA. Even though the usual approach for CMI is revascularization of the CA and the SMA, the present case demonstrates that IMA can have a central role in visceral circulation, and its endovascular revascularization can be the first treatment option in selected cases.
