Figure 3. Case 2 involved a 45-year-old White man with a 3-day history of severe abdominal cramping and pain. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan and preprocedural angiogram confirmed SID-SMA with hypoperfusion of the bowel loops and cecum (A, B). Follow-up abdominal CT scan showed good patency of the stent lumen (C, arrow; D). Postprocedural angiogram showed good patency of the SMA and ileo-colic artery with improved distal vascularization (E). SID – spontaneous isolated dissection; SMA – superior mesenteric artery.
