- Abstract: Mesenteric venous thrombosis has a low prevalence and nonspecific clinical symptoms, and it may cause bowel infarction and death. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention with anticoagulants are important to patients. We examined a 27-year-old woman complaining of diffuse abdominal pain and hematochezia, and diagnosed extensive mesenteric venous thrombosis with intestinal infarction and pulmonary thromboembolism. In light of the patient's symptoms, an operation seemed necessary. However, because of the high risk of mortality, we decided to look for another option. The patient was successfully treated with intensive medical care and a radiological procedure in spite of intestinal infarction.
