[Endoluminal angioplasty of the superior mesenteric artery in the treatment of intestinal angina].
The authors report about the case of a 69-year-old patient suffering from intestinal angina, in whom an endoluminal angioplasty of the superior mesenteric artery for a stenosis located 3 cm from the ostium allowed suppressing the symptoms. The published series of arterial angioplasty for gastrointestinal care are still rare, but they indicate that angioplasty may be an interesting alternative to or a complement to surgery for patients with intestinal angina.
