Uncovered stent insertion for isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection

摘要

Isolated superior mesentericartery (SMA) dissection (SMAD) isan increasingly common condition, [1] with theincreased use ofabdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scanning approaches having led to progressiveincreases in therate ofisolated SMADdetection. Following detection, isolated SMADcan betreated viaconservativetherapy, stent insertion, or open surgery,although open surgicalapproaches are very rarely employed. [1–11] Theselection ofan appropriateisolated SMADtreatmentstrategy is typically dependent upon individually evaluating thesymptomsand imaging features ofeach patient.
