[Interventional revascularization for severe mesenteric ischemia in contribution with venal artery angioplasty].
A 82 year old lady presented with haemorraghic erosive gastritis, progressing lost of weight, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and renal dysfunction. Colour flow duplex scanning and MRA revealed subtotal stenosis of the celiac artery and the right renal artery, proximal occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and complete occlusion of the inferior mesenteric artery. There were also stenoses in the left renal artery. The patient was accessed via the left brachial artery, because of the relatively unfavourable angle of the mesenteric arteries. The procedures were done using F8-sheath-, F7-guiding catheter and vertebral shaped F5-diagonstic catheter. The celiac trunk und the right renal artery were initially treated with 7 x 12 and 5 x 17 mm balloon-expanding Stents. 7 x 40 mm self-expanding stent (Carotid wallstent) was inserted in the superior mesenteric artery following balloon dilatation with 5-mm-PTA-ballon. Dilatation of the superior mesenteric artery was done also after placement of the stent with 7-mm-PTA-ballon. One stage successful endovascular treatment was performed in the three vascular territories. A follow-up of 3 months period with colour duplex sonography revealed the stent to be patent with normal flow, better control of the hypertension and improvement of the renal function.
