Title: Inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm in the setting of chronic colonic vascular ectasia. Author: Clark CE, Monzon JR, Gifford S, Toursarkissian B, Mayoral JL. Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2011 Feb; 25(2):267.e7-9. PubMed ID: 20926238. Abstract: Colonic vascular ectasia is a condition characterized by dilated submucosal veins, venules, or capillaries found commonly in patients with lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. We present a case of colorectal ectasia associated with ischemia and an inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm. These pathologic findings may be the result of the vascular ectasia and may add to the natural history of this condition.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
