[ACUTE MESENTERIC ISCHEMIA].

Abstract

Introduction: A 61-year-old man with a complex cardiovascular history and chronic kidney disease was hospitalized with an anterior STEMI and found on catheterization to have severe occlusions in multiple coronary arteries. He underwent PCI followed by urgent coronary artery bypass surgery. On the day after the surgery, he developed acute abdominal pain, and a CTA revealed thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) with ischemia of the small intestine - a condition that was treated surgically with bowel resection and thrombectomy.
