Symptomatic occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery can be treated by open repair, hybrid procedure, or endovascular revascularization. In most cases, endovascular procedures are done by the antegrade approach. We report a case of a 67-year-old woman who presented with acute-on-chronic mesenteric ischemia successfully treated by retrograde endovascular recanalization of an occluded common hepatomesenteric trunk through the inferior mesenteric artery and arc of Riolan.
