Thromboembolic Occlusion of Superior mesenteric artery-a case report

Abstract

Abstract : Acute thromboembolic occlusion of the superior
mesenteric artery is a condition with an unfavorable
prognosis. Treatment of this condition is focused on early
diagnosis, surgical or intravascular restoration of blood flow to
the ischemic intestine, surgical resection of the necrotic bowel
and supportive intensive care. In this report, I describe a case
of a 60-year-old man who developed a small bowel infarct
because of an acute embolic occlusion of the superior
mesenteric artery.
