Isolated spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery: percutaneous stent placement in two patients.
Isolated spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is a rare cause of acute mesenteric ischemia. Two patients were successfully treated by percutaneous stent placement within the main trunk of the SMA. Emphasis is placed on the feasibility of nonsurgical management with percutaneous stent placement of isolated spontaneous dissection of the SMA.
