Isolated dissecting aneurysms of the abdominal aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. A case report and literature review

摘要

Supracoeliac abdominal aortic dissections are rare and require complex interventions for repair. Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissections are also rare and even less frequently reported to involve aneurysmal change. We present the case of a 65-year-old man with a dissecting supracoeliac aortoiliac aneurysm and a separate dissecting aneurysm of the SMA The surgical intervention performed and a review of the literature on the management of SMA dissection in the endovascular era are presented.
