- Abstract
Abdominal angina followed by an active vascular intervention constitutes an infrequent sequence of events. The limited experience in the active management of this, potentially lethal, condition prompted us to present the case of a 54 year old man with an exceedingly rare etiology of mesenteric ischemia. The underlying cause was kinking of the superior mesenteric artery in combination with ostial stenosis of the celiac trunk. The initial management strategy included an interventional radiological procedure because patient initially declined the surgical treatment. The second intervention was a surgical revascularization of the diseased segment of the abdominal vasculature. The surgical treatment led to complete resolution of his symptoms.
