    Author: Popovič P, Kuhelj D, Bunc M.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2011 Feb; 34 Suppl 2():S67-9. PubMed ID: 20574794.
    Abstract:
    A case of acute superior mesenteric artery embolism treated with percutaneous thrombus aspiration is described. A 63-year-old man with chronic atrial fibrillation was admitted to the hospital with progressive abdominal pain. Computed tomography angiography revealed an occlusion of the distal part of the superior mesenteric artery. The patient was effectively treated using transaxillary percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy using a 6F Aspirex thrombectomy catheter.
