Abstract :

&nbsp;This report depicts a case of mesenteric artery thrombosis developing in a chronic smoker with relative&nbsp; spå of the rest of the body vasculature, and showing an unprecedented improvement after surgical revascularisation. We have highlighted the rare occurrence of extensive atherosclerotic involvement of the superior&nbsp; mesenteric artery (SMA), inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) and celiac vessels, with no symptomatic disease in the coronary, carotid or cereal vessels, most probably due to smoking. There was 100 % occlusion of the celiac trunk, SMA&nbsp; and IMA in the absence of vasculitis. The significant improvement of the patient as measured by his increased appetite&nbsp; and weight gain after surgery was remarkable.
