["Pearl-string artery" with mesenteric localization].
Angiorgrams sometimes show regular and symetrical corrugations of the arterial outline. The shadows have been given various names: pearl string arter, bamboo pattern and so on. Involved arteries are mostly those of the extremities, especially the lower limbs. The authors have found a case involving the mesenteric artery. Usually, there is no pathological state of the arterial wall. Thus, surgical action is unnecessary.
