Abstract:
Acute mesenteric ischemia after cardiac surgery is a serious complication associated with high mortality. Superior mesenteric artery is most commonly affected artery. Acute obstruction of mesenteric artery generally has an unfavorable prognosis because of late diagnosis. The keys to a successful outcome are early diagnosis and appropriate operative intervention. We successfully treated a patient with acute mesenteric ischemia after aortic valve replacement. Therefore, we report a case with a review of articles.
