Sole Obstruction of the Inferior Mesenteric Artery With Acute Aortic Dissection Causing Critical Mesenteric Ischemia

Inferior mesenteric artery obstruction rarely causes critical mesenteric ischemia, because of the good collateral blood supply. We report a rare case of critical mesenteric ischemia due to sole inferior mesenteric artery obstruction accompanied by acute aortic dissection. Early diagnosis and treatme...

Description
Summary:Inferior mesenteric artery obstruction rarely causes critical mesenteric ischemia, because of the good collateral blood supply. We report a rare case of critical mesenteric ischemia due to sole inferior mesenteric artery obstruction accompanied by acute aortic dissection. Early diagnosis and treatment of mesenteric ischemia are important. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.) [Display omitted] Inferior mesenteric artery obstruction rarely causes critical mesenteric ischemia, because of the good collateral blood supply. We report a rare case…
