  • Title: Massive intestinal infarction in young women: complication of use of oral contraceptives?
    Author: Koh KS, Danzinger RG.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1977 Mar 05; 116(5):513-5. PubMed ID: 837318.
    Abstract:
    Massive intestinal infarction due to occlusion of the celiac, superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric arteries occurred in two young women, one of who subsequently died. Both were smokers. They had ingested oral contraceptives for 5 and 8 years, respectively, but this therapy could not be proven to be a causative factor in their ischemic bowel disease; although such an association is uncommon, it should be considered in young women with abdominal pain.
