Figure 2. Pre-procedural angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) (A). A cutting balloon was used to treat the stenosis of the SMA (B). Angiography after balloon angioplasty and intramural hematoma was observed with IVUS examination (C). Covering the whole dissection in the SMA with the implantation of self-expandable stents (D). Selective superior mesenteric angiography after endovascular therapy (E). The three-dimensional construction of computed tomography angiography after deployment of the self-expandable stents (F).
