A Single Retrograde Revascularization onto the Superior Mesenteric Artery Using an Artificial Graft for Abdominal Angina: A Case Report

Abstract

A man in his 54 was admitted to our hospital owing to progressive postprandial pain for a month. Computed tomography (CT) scan and angiography revealed severe stenosis and calcification of the celiac artery, superior mesenteric artery, and inferior mesenteric artery. Based on the findings of CT scan and angiography, abdominal angina was established and retrograde revascularization was performed only to the superior mesenteric artery using an artificial graft. After the surgery, he remains free of postprandial abdominal pain.
