  • Title: Self-limited spontaneous dissection of the main trunk of the superior mesenteric artery.
    Author: Yasuhara H, Shigematsu H, Muto T.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 1998 Apr; 27(4):776-9. PubMed ID: 9576098.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous dissection of the splanchnic arteries is rare and reportedly carries a high risk of mortality. Two cases with spontaneous dissection of the main trunk of the superior mesenteric artery followed by a self-limited clinical course are presented. Current management strategies, including bypass operation, patch angioplasty, and conservative treatments, are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the role of nonsurgical management with careful follow-up with the use of new technologies such as duplex and computed tomography scanning.
