Dr. Phanikrishnaravula, Dr. Nareshsriramula

Abstract :

Chronic mesenteric ischaemia is a rare and potentially fatal condition most commonly due to atherosclerotic stenosis or Or occlusion of two or more mesenteric arteries.Muiltivessel revascularization of both primary mesenteric vessels,the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery(SMA),is the current mainstay of treatment;Here we present a case involving 56 years old man with chronic mesenteric ischaemia.He was a high risk surgical patient with severe unreconstructablestenotic disease of proximal SMA.He was successfully treated with single vessel revascularization of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) by aorto mesenteric bypass using PTFE graft. At year follow up, the graft remains patent and the patient continues to be symptom free and is maintain his weight.
