Surgical reconstruction for mesenteric angina in a patient with infra-renal aortic occlusive disease--a case report and review.
Mesenteric angina is an uncommon condition which is underdiagnosed, or diagnosed too late when the patient has a mesenteric infarct. The preferred treatment is by surgical reconstruction. A case presented here illustrates the condition and the modifications necessary to reconstruct a completely occluded lower abdominal aorta in treating both mesenteric angina and claudication.
