  • Title: Mesenteric artery occlusion secondary to activated protein C resistance: a life-threatening combination.
    Author: Scally N, O'Donnell ME, McClintock C, Allen M, Kirk SJ, Dolan S.
    Journal: Angiology; ; 58(6):768-71. PubMed ID: 18216386.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of mesenteric ischemia in a 32-year-old woman. The rarity of this potentially fatal condition in this age group, the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with such a condition, and secondary causes that must always be investigated are highlighted. In this case, activated protein C resistance resulted in thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery and subsequent bowel ischemia.
