Jet flow aneurysm of inferior mesenteric artery

Abstract

A 56-year-old male was evaluated for postprandial abdominal pain and was detected to have an inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) aneurysm associated with critical ostial stenosis of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries. He underwent aneurysmorrhaphy of the IMA along with revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery with graft from the aorta using a 6-mm ringed polytetrafluoroethylene graft and made an uneventful recovery.
