Abstract:
A 50-year old man was admitted to our hospital because he complained of sudden abdominal pain. Multidetector abdominal CT showed proximal occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery. Emergency open laparotomy and Fogarty thrombectomy were done on admission day and repeat Fogarty thrombectomy and partial resection of the small bowel were done the next day. We report here on a case of superior mesenteric artery occlusion.
