title: Recanalization of iatrogenic dissection of the superior mesenteric artery: a case report.
abstract: We present a case of acute abdominal pain due to a long-segment iatrogenic superior mesenteric artery dissection, which was immediately treated successfully with balloon fenestration of the intimal flap, resulting in complete resolution of the symptoms without recurrence during the 2-year follow-up period.
