Open thrombectomy, patch angioplasty, and retrograde stenting for isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection

Abstract

Isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection without aortic involvement is an exceptionally rare event. Nonoperative management remains the first-line therapy. However, surgical interventions can be indicated in the event of bowel ischemia. In the present report, we describe a case of complicated isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection treated with a hybrid approach.
