  • Title: Endovascular reconstruction of complex arterial obstructions in the mesenteric arcade with "kissing stents": technical note.
    Author: Daliri A, Krause UC, Kalinowski M, Heverhagen J, Froelich JJ.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2008; 31(3):629-32. PubMed ID: 18060456.
    Abstract:
    This report describes a technique for advanced endoluminal reconstruction of complex bifurcational arterial obstructions located within the mesenteric arcade deploying applications from percutaneous transluminal coronary artery angioplasty. A patient was treated for persistent mesenteric ischemia during prolonged recovery after initial small bowel resection due to acute mesenteric ischemia. Following endovascular reconstruction of a complex arterial obstruction within the mesenteric arcade, ischemic symptoms subsided quickly and the patient recovered well. According to the literature, this seems to be the first case where such distal reconstruction of the mesenteric arcade has successfully been achieved percutaneously.
