SERIES CASES REPORT: TWO CASES OF SUPERIOR MESENTERIC ARTERY OBSTRUCTION WERE SUCCESSFULLY TREATED WITH ENDOVASCULAR INTERVENTION AT NGUYEN TRI PHUONG HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Superior mesenteric artery thrombotic occlusion (SMAO) is a medical condition caused by the obstruction of blood vessels in the small and large intestines, leading to intestinal ischemia and potentially fatal consequences. The exact frequency of this disease has not been accurately documented, estimated to be approximately 0,1-0,2% among all hospitalized patients. SMAO can result from various factors, including embolism, atherosclerosis, compression, or vascular inflammation, with atherosclerosis being the leading cause within the category of chronic diseases and the primary focus of this article. We conducted this research with the aim of investigating the initial symptoms and outcomes of endovascular interventions in patients with chronic superior mesenteric artery stenosis. Methods: Clinical description through 2 clinical cases. Discussion: The article will discuss the diagnostic approaching and treatment effectiveness of the endovascular interventions method. Conclusion: Chronic ischemia of the superior mesenteric artery is a condition often overlooked. the gold standard for diagnosis is degital substraction angiography (DSA). Revascularization by endovascular interventions such as stenting is the primary treatment strategy.
