[Chronic intestinal ischemia--not rare cause of abdominal pains--case description].

The clinical manifestation of this disease is not clear and the symptoms are similar to many other disorders. This requires from the physician a wide knowledge and many-sided diagnostic process. The success depends also on the good cooperation between radiologist and vascular surgeon. The authors presents the case of 59-aged patient with occlusion of superior mesenteric artery. After the angioplasty there was a complete relief of ischemic symptoms.
