[Angina abdominalis: Clinical findings and therapy (author's transl)].
Angiographic and clinical findings of angina abdominalis are demonstrated by the clinical course of four patients. Two of them suffered from athero-sclerotic stenosis and the remaining two from compression of the coeliac trunc respectively the upper mesenteric artery by fibrotic strings. One patient was treated by an interposition of a saphenous vein graft another one by tissue decompression. Two patients were not operated upon, because one of them had sufficient collateral circulation on angiography, and the other denied an operation, he died one year after diagnosis because of an occlusion of the coeliac trunc and the upper mesenteric artery with following gangrene of the small and large intestine. Danger of complete intestinal necrosis following arterial vessel occlusion as well as reconstructive operative procedures on arterial occlusion should be considered.
