  • Title: [Bowel ischaemia treated with stent placement].
    Author: Nygaard HH, Sigild UH.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2006 May 29; 168(22):2171-2. PubMed ID: 16768958.
    Abstract:
    This is a case report of a younger woman admitted to hospital with abdominal pain and weight loss. Four weeks after admittance, she was diagnosed with severe bowel ischaemia at laparotomy. Arteriography showed occlusive disease in the mesenteric arteries, which were treated with a stent. The entire intestine was preserved, apart from 10 cm of jejunum due to bowel perforation. The diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa was confirmed based on biopsy and clinical symptoms.
