Surgical treatment of spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery: a case report
Abstract
A case of a 46-year-old man with spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) demonstrated by ultrasonography is presented. He was successfully treated by emergency aorto-SMA bypass surgery, but complicated with bilateral internal iliac aneurysm. The patient has remained asymptomatic with full employment.
