Abstract: | The main trunks of both coeliac and superior mesenteric arteries were sheared off the abdominal aorta by an anterior dissection that spared the renal arteries. Both vessels were cannulated and a Walstent inserted across the false lumen to restore normal coeliac and superior mesenteric perfusion. This produced a successful haemodynamic and angiographic result with improvement in the patient's clinical condition. |
