| Summary: | Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia (CMI) presenting as acute abdomen can be treated percutaneously. An endovascular intervention has
surpassed surgical revascularization over the past decade due to its lesser perioperative complication rate. Trans-femoral approach of
revascularising is limited by its difficulty in coaxial alignment of the guiding catheter and hence, brachial artery and recently the radial
approach have been utilized for mesenteric artery revascularisation for over a decade. Here by we report a case of chronic mesenteric
ischemia having total occlusion of two and 70% occlusion of one of the three mesenteric vessels. The patient had presented with acute
abdomen which in turn was percutaneously revascularised via the left brachial artery for the two major abdominal visceral vessels being
superior mesenteric artery and inferior mesenteric artery. |
