Indian Heart J. 2006 Mar-Apr;58(2):155-7.

Abstract

Mesenteric ischemia is a rare but serious cause of abdominal pain.We present the case of a man who had symptomatic mesenteric ischemia, secondary to a superior mesenteric artery stenosis in conjunction with a coeliac artery stenosis. He was treated with balloon angioplasty and stent insertion, and showed good symptomatic improvement.
