Isolated stenosis of the inferior mesenteric artery: to treat or not to treat?

Jordan C Tasse et al. Tech Vasc Interv Radiol. 2015 Mar.

Abstract

The indication for treatment of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is generally not clear. The IMA is frequently ignored owing to its size and the presence of alternate pathways within the mesenteric vasculature. However, IMA treatment may be indicated in certain clinical scenarios. In this article, we focus on the indications for IMA treatment and technical considerations when treatment is indicated.

Keywords: Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia (CMI); Endovascular Treatment; Inferior Mesenteric Artery (IMA).
