Spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is rare and has been reported only sporadically. Therapeutic options are either a surgical approach, which is the more frequently adopted, or a simple observation. We report a case of spontaneous dissection of the SMA with a review of the literature and present a new therapeutic approach.
Two cases of lung tumor in the left upper with neoplastic thrombus in the pulmonary veins and extension into the left atrium are reported. The diagnosis was made preoperatively with CT.
The authors report their experience over 58 cases of extra-anatomical by-pass for revascularity of lower limbs (31 axillo-femoral, 21 femoro-femoral, 2 femoro-popliteal, 4 axillo-femoral) checked using intravenous digital angiography (IDA). This method is useful for its poor invasivity. As a matter of fact intravenous peripheral injection of contrast medium is proved to be sufficient. Moreover it allows clear evidence of anastomosis morphology and functionality both peripherally and proximally. Peripheral flow is also well seen when by-pass works. IDA fills now an area where traditional angiography was not employed for the difficulties in using arterial way. Selective catheterization was also necessary for the evidence of the two far-away districts (axillo-femoral).
