Abstract
Open revascularization for mesenteric ischemia has retained a significant value despite the increasing importance and use of endovascular techniques. Surgical procedures such as retrograde embolectomy, thromboendarterectomy and visceral bypass are indispensable components of the therapeutic armamentarium, particularly in cases of multisegmental vascular involvement, failure of previous endovascular treatment and concomitant presence of peritonitis, shock or multiorgan failure. In this context, preoperative multiphase computed tomography (CT) angiography is essential for the planning and outcome of visceral revascularization. This article summarizes the indications, technique, and results of the most important open surgical procedures.

Abstract
Background Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a debilitating disease with a heavy burden on quality of life. Stenting of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is the first option for treatment, but there is a lack of consensus defining precise indications for open revascularization (OR). Objectives To describe a series of 4 patients with CMI treated with OR and to present an algorithm for the management of this condition. Methods Three patients presented with typical intestinal angina and weight loss. One patient was subjected to prophylactic revascularization during open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Surgical techniques included: 1) Bypass from the infrarenal aorta to the SMA; 2) Bypass from an aorto-bifemoral polyester graft to the SMA; 3) Bypass from the right iliac artery to the SMA; 4) Bypass from the right graft limb of an aorto-biiliac polyester graft to the median colic artery at Riolan's arcade. PTFE was used in all surgeries. All grafts were placed in a retrograde configuration, tunneled under the left renal vein, making a smooth C-loop. A treatment algorithm was constructed based on the institution's experience and a review of recent literature. Results All patients demonstrated resolution of symptoms and recovery of body weight. All grafts are patent after mean follow-up of two years. Conclusions Open revascularization using the C-loop configuration is a valuable technique for CMI and may be considered in selected cases. The algorithm constructed may help decision planning in other quaternary centers.

Abstract
Due to the extensive collateral arterial network, symptomatic chronic mesenteric ischemia is a relatively uncommon condition and is associated with severe atherosclerotic disease of all major visceral arteries. Open surgical repair has been commonly used to restore blood supply to the visceral arteries, and the "roof-top" approach has been advocated as an alternative technique to traditional midline incision, mainly because of the great exposure of the suprarenal aorta that it offers. Roof-top approach, in other words, bilateral subcostal incision, is a totally abdominal approach to the suprarenal aorta, and as the title says, it is like a roof-top on the abdominal wall. We present a case of a female patient with intestinal angina that was deemed unsuitable for endovascular repair (ER) and was treated with open surgical repair utilizing the "roof-top" approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Guidelines recommend open revascularization (OR) over endovascular revascularization (ER) for the treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) for younger, healthier patients. However, little is known about the long-term costs of these recommendations with respect to patients' overall life expectancy. This study investigated whether 5-year value differs between these treatment modalities. METHODS Patient data were extracted from the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System, the New York statewide all-payor database containing demographics, diagnoses, treatments, and charges. The database was queried for patients with an International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision, code for CMI, with the specific exclusion of acute ischemia cases. A propensity score match was performed using the Charlson Comorbidity Index, age, sex, race, renal status, and pulmonary disease for the final cohort of patients. Multiple linear regression and mixed effects linear regression were used to determine factors associated with 5-year value, calculated as life-years/$100k in charges. Charges were gathered from the index admission and subsequent admissions for acute or CMI, mesenteric angiography, or follow-up reintervention. Kaplan-Meier estimation was performed for survival and reintervention-free survival. RESULTS From 2000 to 2014, 875 patients underwent intervention for CMI. Of those meeting inclusion criteria, 209 (28.1%) underwent OR and 535 (71.9%) ER. After propensity score matching (n = 209 in each group), the ER group showed higher value at 5 years after the procedure (8.04 ± 11.42 life-years/$100k charges vs 4.89 ± 5.28 life-years/$100k charges; P < .01). More patients underwent reintervention in the ER group (37 patients vs 17 patients; P < .01), with 55 reinterventions in the ER group and 19 in the OR group (P < .01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, congestive heart failure, dysrhythmia, cancer, and days spent in the intensive care unit were negatively associated with value at 5 years, whereas ER was positively associated. Survival was 59.6 ± 3.76% vs 62.3% ± 3.49% at 5 years (P = .91), and reintervention-free survival was 43.7 ± 3.86% vs 58.1 ± 3.53% (P = .04), for ER and OR respectively. CONCLUSIONS Despite increased reinterventions and lower reintervention-free survival, the value for patients with CMI was higher in those who underwent ER in the largest propensity score-matched cohort to date looking at long-term value. Factors negatively associated with value were OR, age, days in intensive care, congestive heart failure, dysrhythmia, and cancer. In patients with amenable anatomy, ER is validated as the first-choice treatment for CMI based on the superior procedural value.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare, debilitating disease associated with higher morbidity and mortality if not treated on time. In the past two decades, there has been a paradigm shift in its management with endovascular modality due to reduced perioperative morbidity and mortality. In the endovascular era, only a few patients require surgical therapy. We conducted this study to report our experience with open surgical revascularization at our hospital. METHODS We have conducted a retrospective study after obtaining approval from Institutional Ethics Committee. Data regarding patients who underwent open revascularization for CMI with long-segment occlusion from 2016 to 2021 has been retrieved from the institutional database. The demographic data, clinical presentation, type of surgery and graft used, perioperative mortality and morbidity and length of hospital stay were evaluated. Overall survival and disease-free survival were assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS Twenty-one patients underwent open surgical revascularization; 16 were males and five females. The median age was 43 years. Fourteen (66.7%) were smokers. The mean duration of follow-up was 28.4 ± 13.6 months. Thirty-day postoperative mortality was 0% and morbidity was 28%. The average duration of hospital stay and postoperative weight gain were 6.9 ± 3.7 days and 11 ± 4.9 kgs, respectively. One patient died at two years of follow-up due to myocardial infarction and one had a recurrence. Long-term survival at 60 months of follow-up was 91.6% and the primary-patency rate was 95.2%. CONCLUSION Owing to better long-term and reintervention-free patency, open revascularization should be considered in patients who are fit for surgery, particularly in patients with long-segment mesenteric artery occlusion.

Abstract
Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) arises from the inability to achieve adequate intestinal blood flow after meals, leading to an imbalance between oxygen and metabolite supply and demand. The true incidence of CMI remains uncertain. However, the occurrence of mesenteric artery occlusive disease (MAOD) is relatively common among the elderly population. Delays in diagnosing CMI can often be attributed to several factors, including the variability in patient symptoms and the range of potential causes for chronic abdominal pain with weight loss. Mikkelson pioneered the introduction of a surgical treatment for occlusive lesions of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in 1957. The inaugural performance of endovascular revascularization (ER) for visceral vessels took place in 1980. The literature has documented two types of endovascular revascularization (ER) methods: percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and primary stenting (PMAS). Despite the limited quality of available evidence, the consensus among experts is strongly in favor of PMAS over PTA alone for the treatment of atherosclerotic mesenteric artery stenosis. There are several key areas of focus for chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) treatment. Randomized controlled trials comparing different stent types, such as covered stents versus bare metal stents, are needed to evaluate efficacy, patency rates, and long-term outcomes in CMI patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited analyses of survival and postoperative outcomes in chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) using data from large cohorts. Current guidelines recommend open repair (OR) for younger, healthier patients when long-term benefits outweigh increased perioperative risks or for poor endovascular repair (ER) candidates. This study investigates whether long-term survival, reintervention, and value differ between these treatment modalities. METHODS A retrospective cohort analysis was performed on data extracted from the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System, the New York statewide all-payer database containing demographics, diagnoses, treatments, and charges. Patients were selected for CMI and subsequent ER or OR using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes. Patients with peripheral arterial disease were excluded to account for ambiguity in the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision procedure code for angioplasty of noncoronary vessels, which includes angioplasty of upper and lower extremity vessels. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare 1-year and 5-year survival and reintervention between treatment modalities using a propensity-matched cohort. Cox proportional hazards testing was performed to find factors associated with 1-year and 5-year survival and reintervention. Analysis of procedural value was performed using linear regression. RESULTS From 2000 to 2014, 744 patients met inclusion criteria. Of these, 209 (28.1%) underwent OR and 535 (71.9%) ER. No difference between propensity-matched groups was found in 1-year (P = 0.46) or 5-year (P = 0.91) survival. Congestive heart failure (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.8, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.7-4.4; P < 0.01), cancer (HR: 2.8, 95% CI: 1.3-5.8; P < 0.01), and dysrhythmia (HR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.1-2.8; P = 0.02) correlated with 1-year mortality. Cancer (HR: 2.9, 95% CI: 1.6-5.5; P < 0.01), congestive heart failure (HR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.5-3.2; P < 0.01), chronic pulmonary disease (HR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.0-2.0; P = 0.04), and age (HR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.05; P < 0.01) correlated with 5-year mortality. Treatment modality was not associated with reintervention at 1 year on Kaplan-Meier analysis (P = 0.29). However, ER showed increased instances of reintervention at 5 years (P < 0.01). Additionally, ER was associated with an increased 5-year value (0.7 ± 0.9 vs. 0.5 ± 0.5 life years/charges at index admission [$10k], P < 0.01; b coefficient: 0.2, 95% CI: 0.1-0.4, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS This is the largest retrospective propensity-matched single-study cohort to analyze long-term survival outcomes after intervention for CMI. Long-term mortality was independent of treatment modality and rather was associated with patient comorbidities. Therefore, treatment selection should depend on anatomic considerations and long-term value. ER should be considered over OR in patients with amenable anatomy based on the superior procedural value.

Mesenteric Ischemia in a Patient with Essential Thrombocythemia: Does COVID-19 Play Any Role? A Case Report and Overview of the Literature. Medicina (B Aires) 2022; 58:medicina58091147.

Abstract
Introduction: Chronic mesenteric ischemia is a rare entity with non-specific symptomatology; combined with rare etiologies, it could lead to unwarranted surgical indication. Case report: We report the case of an 85-year-old woman, with a history of hypertension, persistent thrombocytosis, atherosclerosis, and recent minor COVID-19 infection, presenting to the hospital with postprandial abdominal pain and nonspecific clinical examination findings; upon abdominal CT, superior mesenteric artery circumferential thrombosis was revealed. A bone marrow biopsy was performed due to suspected essential thrombocythemia, confirming the diagnosis. An endovascular approach was chosen as therapy option and a stent was placed in the occluded area. Dual antiplatelet and cytoreductive therapies were initiated after the intervention. Clinical course was excellent, with no residual stenosis 1 month after stenting. Conclusions: The therapeutic strategy in elderly patients with exacerbated chronic mesenteric ischemia requires an interdisciplinary approach in solving both the exacerbation and the underlying conditions in order to prevent further thrombotic events. Although the patient presented a thrombotic state, other specific risk factors such as COVID-19 related-coagulopathy and essential thrombocythemia should be considered.

Abstract
Purpose Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare but life-threatening disease. This study reviewed outcomes in patients treated surgically for CMI by open treatment (OT) and endovascular treatment (ET), analyzing risk factors for endovascular failure. Methods Clinical data for 36 patients treated for CMI from 2007 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The study’s primary endpoint was symptom-free survival. The secondary endpoint was the primary technical success for endovascular and open surgical treatments. Risk factors for endovascular failure were identified by using univariate analysis. Results Patients were analyzed as treated: 21 patients (58.3%) in the ET and 15 (41.6%) in the OT group. Overall, 20 patients (56%) presented with abdominal angina, 9 (25%) with rest pain, and 7 (19%) without symptoms. An ET was initially attempted in 31 patients (86.1%). The conversion rate from ET to OT was 32.3%, which resulted in a primary technical success of 67.6% in ET and 100% in OT. Six patients from the ET group (19.3%) required surgical revision due to restenosis. One-year (OT 91.6% vs. ET 96.8%; n.s.) and three-year primary patency (OT 91.6% vs. ET 80.6%; n.s.) as well as 3-year symptom-free survival did not differ between the groups (OT 62.5% vs. ET 69.4%; n.s). Overall, in-hospital mortality was 2.8% (n = 1), which was not statistically different between the groups (OT 6% vs. ET 0%; n.s.). High-grade stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery tended to be associated with higher technical failure (P = 0.06). Conclusions ET showed a comparable perioperative outcome with higher technical failure. OT was distinguished by excellent early and late technical success.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mortality rate from mesenteric ischemia is reported to be as high as 80%. The goal of our study was to identify demographic and clinical predictors of post-operative mortality and discharge disposition among elderly patients with mesenteric ischemia. METHODS All patients 65 years and older who underwent emergency surgery (ES) for the management of mesenteric ischemia in the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2007 to 2017 were included. Univariate analyses and logistic regressions were used to identify independent predictors of mortality and discharge disposition. RESULTS A total of 2438 patients met inclusion criteria, with a median age of 77 years and 60.8% being female. The 30-day mortality of the overall cohort was 31.5% and the 30-day morbidity was 65.3%. The following were the major predictors of 30-day mortality: pre-operative diagnosis of septic shock [OR: 2.46, (95% CI: 1.94-3.13)], dialysis dependence [OR: 2.05, (95% CI: 1.45-2.90)], recent weight loss [OR: 1.80, (95% CI: 1.16-2.79)], age ≥80 years [OR: 1.67, (95% CI: 1.25-2.23)], and ventilator dependence [OR: 1.65, (95% CI: 1.23-2.23)]. In the absence of these predictors, survival rate was 84%. The major predictors of discharge to post-acute care (PAC) included age ≥80 years [OR: 3.70, (95% CI: 2.50-5.47)] and pre-operative septic shock [OR: 2.20, (95% CI: 1.42-3.41)]. CONCLUSION In the geriatric patient, a diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia does not equate to an automatic death sentence. The presence of certain pre-operative risk factors confers a high risk of mortality, whereas their absence is associated with a high chance of survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the technique of transcollateral retrograde recanalization of a superior mesenteric artery flush occlusion. METHODS The technique of a patient undergoing transcollateral retrograde recanalization for acute symptomatic superior mesenteric artery flush occlusion was reviewed and presented. Other adjunctive methods to facilitate the endovascular treatment of the superior mesenteric artery total occlusion lesion were also compared and discussed. RESULTS The patient was a 47-year-old woman, acute onset of symptomatic chronic mesenteric ischemia with flush occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery which was unable to be revascularized in a routine operation. A collateral was found to connect celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery (gastroduodenal arch). The guidewire was retrograde crossed the occluded lesion via this collateral and recaptured by the catheter from the same single brachial sheath followed by balloon angioplasty and stent implantation. The patient recovered well and the symptoms completely disappeared after the procedure. CONCLUSION The technique of retrograde recanalization through collateral pathway is an applicable alternative option for patients with superior mesenteric artery flush occlusion who have failed attempts by conventional antegrade approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite the continuing controversy of covered stents (CS) vs bare metal stents, the use of CS in mesenteric occlusive disease (MOD) has been recommended by expert centers. The aim of this study was to report midterm results with CS of the superior mesenteric artery. METHODS Between January 2014 and October 2019, patients with MOD with a severe atheromatous stenosis or occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery treated by mesenteric CS were included. Clinical presentation included both acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI), chronic mesenteric ischemia, and asymptomatic patients planned for major surgery. Demographics, procedure details, and follow-up data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed. Study end points included primary patency, primary assisted patency, and secondary patency. RESULTS During the study period, 86 patients (mean age, 70 ± 9 years; 57% males) were included. Clinical presentation was AMI (n = 42 [49%]), chronic mesenteric ischemia (n = 31 [36%]), and asymptomatic (n = 13 [15%]). The technical success rate was 97%. A total of 96 stents were implanted, including 86 proximal CS (Advanta V12, n = 73; Lifestream, n = 13). The mean length and mean diameter of the CS were 31.5 ± 6.3 mm and 6.9 ± 0.5 mm, respectively. Additional distal bare metal stents were used in 10 patients (12%) to overcome a kinking (n = 9) or a dissection (n = 1) downstream of the CS. All postoperative deaths occurred in patients with AMI (n = 11, 13%). During a median follow-up of 15.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 15.6 ± 3.6 months), 12 patients (14%) underwent reinterventions for either stent misplacement (n = 3), stent recoil (n = 3), stent thrombosis (n = 2), de novo stenosis at the distal edge of the CS (n = 2), or gastric ischemia (n = 1). At 1 year, overall the primary patency, primary assisted patency, and secondary patency rates were 83% (95% CI, 83% ± 9%), 99% (95% CI, 99% ± 3%), and 99% (95% CI, 99% ± 3%), respectively. At 2 years, the overall primary patency, primary assisted patency, and secondary patency rates were 76% (95% CI, 76% ± 13%), 95% (95% CI, 95% ± 8%) and 95% (95% CI, 95% ± 8%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Mesenteric CS provide very satisfactory midterm results in patients with MOD, with an excellent primary assisted patency rate at 2 years, at the price of a significant reintervention rate.

Abstract
Background Revascularization strategies for chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) include open (OR) and endovascular (ER) modalities. The primary objective of this study was to analyze the safety and effectiveness of OR and ER and the impact of clinical and morphological variables on early and midterm outcomes in a consecutive series of CMI patients in a tertiary referral center. Patients and methods From 2004 to 2017, all CMI patients treated with OR and ER were retrospectively identified. Patient records, preoperative imaging, as well as peri- and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. Univariable and multivariable analysis was performed to identify clinical or morphological variables affecting reintervention rates within 2 years. Results In total, 63 patients (33% male; mean age 71, range 60–76 years) were treated by ER (41 patients) or OR (22 patients) for CMI. Mean follow-up was 26 (10–71) months. 30-day mortality was 0.0% after ER and 4.5% after OR (p = 0.069); 30-day morbidity was 9.8% vs. 31.8%, respectively (p = 0.030). Length of stay was significantly longer after OR (14 vs. 4 days; p < 0.001). Freedom from reintervention rate after 2 years was 82% after OR and 73% after ER (p = 0.14). Overall survival did not differ after 2 years (OR 85% vs. ER 86%; p = 0.35). Multivariable analysis revealed that smoking was associated with higher risk of reintervention (hazard ratio, HR: 4.14; 95% confidence interval, CI 1.11–15.53; p = 0.03). Additionally, a nonsignificant trend of lower reintervention rates after OR was detected (HR 0.23 95% CI 0.05–1.08; p = 0.06). Conclusion Due to a lower invasiveness, despite the higher reintervention rate, an “endovascular first” strategy is justified and recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) results from the inability to achieve adequate postprandial intestinal blood flow, usually from atherosclerotic occlusive disease at the origins of the mesenteric vessels. Patients typically present with postprandial pain, food fear, and weight loss, although they can present with acute mesenteric ischemia and bowel infarction. The diagnosis requires a combination of the appropriate clinical symptoms and significant mesenteric artery occlusive disease, although it is often delayed given the spectrum of gastrointestinal disorders associated with abdominal pain and weight loss. The treatment goals include relieving the presenting symptoms, preventing progression to acute mesenteric ischemia, and improving overall quality of life. These practice guidelines were developed to provide the best possible evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with CMI from atherosclerosis. METHODS The Society for Vascular Surgery established a committee composed of vascular surgeons and individuals experienced with evidence-based reviews. The committee focused on six specific areas, including the diagnostic evaluation, indications for treatment, choice of treatment, perioperative evaluation, endovascular/open revascularization, and surveillance/remediation. A formal systematic review was performed by the evidence team to identify the optimal technique for revascularization. Specific practice recommendations were developed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system based on review of literature, the strength of the data, and consensus. RESULTS Patients with symptoms consistent with CMI should undergo an expedited workup, including a computed tomography arteriogram, to exclude other potential causes. The diagnosis is supported by significant arterial occlusive disease in the mesenteric vessels, particularly the superior mesenteric artery. Treatment requires revascularization with the primary target being the superior mesenteric artery. Endovascular revascularization with a balloon-expandable covered intraluminal stent is the recommended initial treatment with open repair reserved for select younger patients and those who are not endovascular candidates. Long-term follow-up and surveillance are recommended after revascularization and for asymptomatic patients with severe mesenteric occlusive disease. Patient with recurrent symptoms after revascularization owing to recurrent stenoses should be treated with an endovascular-first approach, similar to the de novo lesion. CONCLUSIONS These practice guidelines were developed based on the best available evidence. They should help to optimize the care of patients with CMI. Multiple areas for future research were identified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is a life-threatening surgical emergency resulting from thromboembolic occlusion of the mesenteric vasculature. Traditional management of AMI has been open revascularisation with or without bowel resection-a procedure which carries considerable morbidity and mortality in an already unwell, compromised patient. Endovascular and more minimally invasive management approaches to AMI have been reported. Proponents of endovascular management suggest this approach may be associated with reduced morbidity and mortality compared with open surgery. OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of endovascular approach for AMI on mortality and need for subsequent laparotomy and/or bowel resection. DATA SOURCES The search bodies PubMed and Medline were interrogated. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA, PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTIONS All studies in English with greater than 10 patients examining outcomes for patients undergoing endovascular intervention for acute mesenteric ischaemia were included. All patients over 18 years presenting with a diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischaemia secondary to an arterial thromboembolic source were included. Studies examining endovascular intervention alone or endovascular and open intervention were selected. RESULTS The 30-day mortality for endovascular approach from all 13 studies was 16-42%. Of the 7 comparative studies including results of open revascularisation, the 30-day mortality for patient treated with an endovascular approach was 15-39% versus 33-50% for open revascularisation. Laparotomy rates post-initial endovascular intervention ranged from 13 to 73%. Bowel resection post-endovascular therapy ranged from 14 to 40% among studies. Concerning 7 comparative studies for open versus endovascular revascularisation, the rate of bowel resection in the endovascular group ranged 14-28% and 33-63% in the open cohort. Endovascular intervention also demonstrated lower median length (s) of bowel resected. LIMITATIONS Heterogeneity of studies and patient populations studied including selection bias. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS OF FINDINGS Endovascular management may be associated with reduced mortality and need for/length of bowel resection compared with the traditional open approach, but there remains a paucity of robust data to support this. The available literature illustrates that a subgroup of patients without haemodynamic compromise and more insidious onset may garner benefit from endovascular intervention.

Distal Superior Mesenteric Artery Endarterectomy Remains an Excellent Option for Mesenteric Revascularization in the Endovascular Era. Ann Vasc Surg 2020; 70:386-392.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endovascular treatment of mesenteric lesions has become increasingly prevalent. Mesenteric bypass, however, remains the optimal treatment in the cases of chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) in young, medically fit patients given its durability. Endarterectomy has gone by the wayside, but in certain situations, this technique remains surgically relevant and should still be used. Herein, we present 2 cases of distal superior mesenteric artery (SMA) endarterectomy for mesenteric revascularization. METHODS/RESULTS Case 1 is a 40-year-old male with history of antithrombin III deficiency, myocardial infarction, bilateral pulmonary embolism, acute aortic thrombus, and mesenteric ischemia status after placement of a proximal SMA stent and was transferred to our institution because of concern for ischemic bowel. Intraoperative angiography showed mid to distal SMA chronic thromboembolism with narrow lumen of recanalization and distal flow. No intervention was performed at that time. He developed worsening abdominal pain and weight loss over several months which required initiation of total parenteral nutrition, complicated by line-associated sepsis. Subsequent distal SMA endarterectomy was performed. He recovered well and had improved enteral intake at 1-month follow-up, and radiographic imaging at 2 months showed patent vessels. Case 2 is a 50-year-old female with extensive smoking history and hyperlipidemia and gastroesophageal reflux who presented with postprandial abdominal pain and a forty-pound weight loss over the past year. Attempted angiographic cannulation with a stent was not successful because of flush occlusion of the SMA approximately 1 centimeter distal to the ostium that was unable to be crossed. Computed tomography angiography confirmed that the SMA origin was free of atherosclerotic disease with a distal focal segment of occlusion. She underwent successful endarterectomy of this occlusion. The postoperative course was uneventful, and at 1-month follow-up, she reported continued improvement in pain and appetite. CONCLUSIONS SMA endarterectomy can be successfully performed on mid to distal lesions of the SMA. This operation should remain a viable option in the management of CMI.

Abstract
Chronic mesenteric ischaemia is a severe disease that is often missed due to its non-specific presentation. Immunosuppressed patients are at risk for infectious gastrointestinal disease, which may further obscure the diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischaemia. In this case, a patient's symptoms and diagnostic workup were consistent with candida esophagitis. Worsening leukocytosis despite treatment, however, prompted re-evaluation ultimately revealing a superior mesenteric artery thrombus causing mesenteric ischaemia. The patient required urgent surgical intervention for the management of his disease.

Abstract
Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) can be treated either by open bypass grafting or occasionally by antegrade endovascular stenting. We present a patient with symptoms of AMI, in the early postoperative period, following thrombosis of an iliac to superior mesenteric bypass to treat chronic mesenteric ischaemia. A hybrid technique combining open surgery with a retrograde endovascular approach was performed. This allowed for direct visualisation of the bowel and immediate revascularisation of the mesenteric circulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is characterized by long-standing abdominal symptoms due to insufficient mesenteric circulation. Data on the effect of revascularisation on quality of life (QoL) for CMI are scarce. This study is the first to evaluate the impact of revascularisation on quality of life. METHODS Seventy-nine patients with CMI or acute-on-chronic mesenteric ischemia (AoCMI) underwent an intervention of one or more mesenteric arteries between January 2010 and July 2012. QoL before and after intervention was measured with the EuroQol-5D. Preintervention questionnaires were of standard care. Postintervention data were obtained by resending a questionnaire to the patients between February and May 2013. To investigate the clinical relevance of our findings, the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) was used. Since there is no established MCID for CMI, we used the literature reference MCID of inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS) of 0.074. RESULTS Fifty-five (69.6%) of 79 patients returned their questionnaire and 23 (29.1%) were completely filled out. There was a significant increase of the median EQ-index score from 0.70 to 0.81 (p=0.02) and a significant reduction of symptoms in the domains usual activities (34.4%) and pain/discomfort (32.3%). There was a significant improvement of 17% in overall current health condition (VAS) (p=0.001). The MCID between baseline and postoperative EQ-5D index score was 0.162, indicating a clinically relevant improvement of quality of life after revascularisation. CONCLUSION Quality of life of CMI patients is improved after mesenteric artery revascularisation.

Abstract
Coral reef Aortic Syndrome can result in significant visceral and lower limb ischemia. We present a 72-year-old male with postprandial abdominal pain and intermittent claudication. Computed tomography demonstrated a calcified plaque occluding the thoracoabdominal aorta. Additionally, the celiac axis was stenotic, and the superior mesenteric artery was completely occluded. The origin of the inferior mesenteric artery was aneurysmal. Aortic rerouting from the ascending to the infrarenal aorta was performed. The superior mesenteric artery was reconstructed with a saphenous vein, and the inferior mesenteric artery was divided and anastomosed directly to the aortic bypass. The procedure resulted in complete relief from the ischemic symptoms.

Abstract
This review is directed at increasing awareness of two diverse rare upper gastrointestinal problems that occur at opposite ends of the age spectrum and are difficult to diagnose and treat. The Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS) likely involves a young patient, especially female, and is especially associated with rapid weight loss, resulting in relative strangulation of the duodenum by a narrowing of the angle between the Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA) and the aorta. On the other hand, atherosclerosis of the SMA is associated most likely with postprandial upper intestinal ischemia and abdominal pain occurs in the elderly at high risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease. Medical management of the SMAS in the young involves good alimentation and weight gain to overall increase the intestinal fat pad. Medical management of SMA atherosclerotic ischemia in the elderly is directed at marked lipid lowering with atherosclerotic plaque stabilization or even regression. If needed, surgery for SMAS can be attempted laparoscopically with duodenojejunoscopy which is the most popular procedure but there are also more conservative possibilities that avoid division of the duodenum. In addition, sometimes direct vision is needed to successfully operate on SMAS. If surgery is needed for SMA atherosclerotic ischemia, it is usually attempted endoscopically with angioplasty and stent placement. Most important, in the case of these two rare clinical entities, is that the clinician have a suspicion of their presence when indicated so that the young or old patient can be spared unnecessary suffering and return to good health in a timely fashion.

Abstract
There are limited contemporary data on readmission after revascularization for chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). This study aimed to determine the rates, reasons, predictors, and costs of 30-day readmission after endovascular or surgical revascularization for CMI. Patients with CMI discharged after endovascular or surgical revascularization during 2013 to 2014 were identified from the Nationwide Readmissions Database. The rates, reasons, length of stay, and costs of 30-day all-cause, non-elective, readmission were determined using weighted national estimates. Independent predictors of 30-day readmission were determined using hierarchical logistic regression. Among 4671 patients with CMI who underwent mesenteric revascularization, 19.5% were readmitted within 30 days after discharge at a median time of 10 days. More than 25% of readmissions were for cardiovascular or cerebrovascular conditions, most of which were for peripheral or visceral atherosclerosis and congestive heart failure. Independent predictors of 30-day readmission included non-elective index admission, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and discharge to home healthcare or to a skilled nursing facility. Revascularization modality did not independently predict readmission. In a nationwide, retrospective analysis of patients with CMI undergoing revascularization, approximately one in five were readmitted within 30 days. Predictors were largely non-modifiable and included non-elective index admission, CKD, and discharge disposition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mesenteric angioplasty and stenting (MAS) has surpassed open revascularization as the treatment of choice for mesenteric ischemia. Despite the lower perioperative mortality associated with MAS, the need for reintervention is not infrequent. The purpose of this study was to review the outcomes of patients treated for mesenteric artery in-stent restenosis (MAISR). METHODS Clinical data from a single center between 2004 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Standard statistical analysis including Kaplan-Meier estimate for time-dependent outcomes, χ2 test for categorical variables, and two-sample t-test for continuous variables was performed. Primary end points included stent patency and reintervention rate. Secondary end points included mortality and morbidity. RESULTS During the study period, 91 patients underwent primary MAS. In total, 113 mesenteric vessels were treated with 20 covered stents and 93 bare-metal stents. Overall primary patency was 69% at 2 years. At 2 years, primary patency was 83% for covered stents compared with 65% for bare-metal stents (P = .17). Of these 91 primary MAS patients, 27 (30%) were treated for MAISR (32 vessels). Two covered stent patients developed significant restenosis (11%) compared with 25 (34%) bare-metal stent patients (P = .02). The mean age of patients requiring reintervention was 69 years (36% male), with the majority having a history of tobacco use (85%), hypertension (75%), and hyperlipidemia (78%). Fourteen reintervention patients (52%) presented with recurrent symptoms, 10 (37%) had asymptomatic restenosis, and 3 (11%) developed intestinal ischemia. Twelve patients (44%) underwent reintervention with balloon angioplasty alone and 15 (56%) underwent repeated stent placement. Of the 15 patients who had repeated stent placement, 7 patients had covered stents placed. The 30-day mortality rate after reintervention for mesenteric stent restenosis was 0%. Postoperative complications occurred in 15% of patients (myocardial infarction, 4%; reversible kidney injury, 4%; and bowel ischemia requiring surgical exploration, 7%). There was no difference in the perioperative morbidity in comparing symptomatic and asymptomatic patients undergoing reintervention. Mean follow-up after mesenteric reintervention was 31 months, with one-third of patients (n = 9) requiring another reintervention because of either recurrence of symptoms or asymptomatic high-grade restenosis. Assisted primary patency at 2 years was 92% after reintervention with balloon angioplasty and 87% for repeated stent placement, with no statistically significant difference between the groups (P = .66). CONCLUSIONS Treatment of MAISR is associated with low mortality and acceptable morbidity. The initial use of covered stents may reduce the need for reintervention.

Abstract
Chronic visceral ischemia is described as postprandial abdominal pain caused by intestinal hypoperfusion. Chronic visceral ischemia arising from the stenosis of major mesenteric arteries can cause death. Chronic abdominal pain, weight loss, and sitophobia are the major symptoms. The main cause of chronic visceral ischemia is atherosclerosis; Doppler ultrasonography, tomographic angiography, and magnetic resonance angiography can be used for diagnosis. The gold standard method is mesenteric catheterized angiography. Surgical bypass or endovascular balloon angioplasty and stent replacement can also be performed to prevent serious complications and death. A total of three patients, two male and one female, applied to emergency services with blunt abdominal pain lasting a few hours that started after meals and was located in the epigastric and periumblical regions. The patients were diagnosed with chronic visceral ischemia after screening tests and physical examination. Mesenteric catheterized angiography was performed immediately in all the cases. Balloon angioplasty and stent replacement were performed on the stenoses, and occlusions were detected. Mesenteric catheterized angiography may be preferred in cases with strong clinical suspicion; balloon angioplasty and stent replacement can also be used as treatments with lower rates of complications.

Abstract
Although follow-up after open surgical and endovascular procedures is generally regarded as an important part of the care provided by vascular surgeons, there are no detailed or comprehensive guidelines that specify the optimal approaches with regard to testing methods, indications for reintervention, and follow-up intervals. To provide guidance to the vascular surgeon, the Clinical Practice Council of the Society for Vascular Surgery appointed an expert panel and a methodologist to review the current clinical evidence and to develop recommendations for follow-up after vascular surgery procedures. For those procedures for which high-quality evidence was not available, recommendations were based on observational studies, committee consensus, and indirect evidence. Recognizing that there are numerous published reports on the role of duplex ultrasound for surveillance of infrainguinal vein bypass grafts, the Society commissioned a systematic review and meta-analysis on this topic. The panel classified the strength of each recommendation and the corresponding quality of evidence on the basis of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system: recommendations were graded either strong or weak, and the quality of evidence was graded high, moderate, or low. The resulting recommendations represent a wide variety of open surgical and endovascular procedures involving the extracranial carotid artery, thoracic and abdominal aorta, mesenteric and renal arteries, and lower extremity arterial revascularization. The panel also identified many areas in which there was a lack of high-quality evidence to support their recommendations. This suggests that there are opportunities for further clinical research on testing methods, threshold criteria, and the role of surveillance as well as on the modes of failure and indications for reintervention after vascular surgery procedures.

Abstract
A common origin of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery (SMA), also termed as celiomesenteric trunk (CMT), is a rare occurrence. We report a rare case of symptomatic CMT stenosis requiring multiple interventions. The patient underwent an initial superior mesenteric artery bypass graft but required a subsequent endoluminal intervention. We present this case for the rarity of CMT stenosis and its potential to cause recurrent mesenteric ischemia. The treatment outcome in this patient suggests that revascularization of the SMA alone can result in adequate perfusion of the entire mesenteric bed and resolve symptoms of mesenteric ischemia including weight loss and food avoidance.

Abstract
Background This study aims to analyze early and late outcomes of the prosthetic bypass grafting procedure in the treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia. Methods Twenty-two patients (15 males, 7 females; mean age 60±10 years; range, 32 to 78 years) who underwent prosthetic bypass grafting for chronic mesenteric ischemia due to atherosclerosis between March 2009 and March 2017 were included in this study. The demographic and operative data were analyzed retrospectively. Results The most common risk factors for atherosclerosis were hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. A total of 72% of the patients were active tobacco users. The common symptoms were postprandial angina and weight loss. Six patients (27%) had a history of endovascular intervention for mesenteric revascularization. Celiac artery bypass grafting was performed in 17 patients, while superior mesenteric artery bypass grafting was performed in 21 patients. Retrograde bypass was done in all patients and polytetrafluoroethylene grafts were used in 20 patients (90%). The mean hospital stay was 10.5 days and the mean follow-up was 44.7 months. The most common postoperative complications were respiratory failure (9%) and infection (9%). In-hospital mortality was observed in one patient (%4.5)who had acute myocardial infarction-related low cardiac output. One patient had graft thrombosis resulting in early graft infection a month after discharge. Late graft thrombosis was observed in two patients at 44 and 85 months, respectively. Late mortality was observed in two patients due to malignancy and cerebral bleeding, respectively. Conclusion Prosthetic bypass grafting via open surgery for chronic mesenteric ischemia seems to be an effective treatment in long-term and can be implemented with low surgical risks.

Abstract
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a prevalent vascular disease that affect a large number of patients. The establishment of optimal treatments to mitigate the intimal hyperplasia (IH)-induced restenosis would help relieve the health burden of the PVD. Ribonucleotide reductase M2 (RRM2) is critical to cellular migration and proliferation. We have previously demonstrated that suppression of RRM2 expression could substantially inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation and migration. We hereby developed RRM2 small interfering RNA (siRNA)-loaded cell penetrating peptides-conjugated liposome-polycation-DNA complex (LPD) (RRM2-CLPD), aiming to inhibit the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) crucial for IH. RRM2-CLPD is of a small size (∼150 nm) and high siRNA encapsulation efficiency (∼90%). Further, we demonstrated that RRM2-CLPD could significantly inhibited RRM2 gene and protein expression by ∼80%. Notably, RRM2-CLPD was able to effectively bind to VSMCs, resulting in significant cellular proliferation and migration inhibition. Taken together, RRM2-CLPD represent a very promising treatment for IH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) continues to be a devastating diagnosis. There is a national trend toward increased use of endovascular procedures with improved survival for the treatment of these patients. Our aim was to evaluate whether this trend has changed CMI patients' length of hospitalization and health care cost. METHODS We identified all patients admitted for CMI from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2000 to 2014. Our primary end points included length of hospital stay (LOS) and cost of hospitalization (COH). Our secondary end points included mortality assessment of the CMI hospitalization. RESULTS There were 15,475 patients admitted for CMI. The mean age of patients was 71 years, and 4022 (26.0%) were male. There were 10,920 (70.6%) patients treated endovascularly (ENDO) and 4555 (29.4%) patients treated in an open fashion (OPEN). Although a higher proportion of patients in the ENDO (43.3%) group vs OPEN (33.1%) had a Charlson Comorbidity Index score of ≥2 (P < .0001), they had a lower mortality rate (2.4% vs 8.7%; P < .0001), lower mean LOS (6.3 vs 14.0 days; P < .0001), and lower COH ($21,686 vs $42,974; P < .0001). After adjusting for clinical and hospital factors, OPEN continued to demonstrate higher mortality than ENDO (odds ratio, 7.2; 95% confidence interval, 4.9-10.6; P < .0001), longer LOS (mean, +9.7 days; P < .0001), and higher COH (mean, +$25,834; P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS The rate of ENDO continues to rise nationally in the treatment of CMI patients. After adjusting for clinical and hospital factors, patients in the ENDO group tend to have lower in-hospital mortality of 2.4% and lower LOS by 10 days, and they incur a cost saving of >$25,000 compared with patients in the OPEN group. ENDO should be considered first line of therapy for patients with CMI.

Abstract
Reperfusion syndrome (RS) after revascularization of an arterial occlusion of the lower leg is a well-known complication. RS after splanchnic revascularization, however, is an infrequent and less-known phenomenon. We present a patient with persisting abdominal complaints after revascularization of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery suggesting reocclusion. Although computed tomography angiography showed patent splanchnic arteries, an impressive hyperperfusion state of liver and spleen was visualized. Complaints diminished steadily with conservative therapy, but RS can cause severe complications such as liver failure and multiple organ failure. Ignorance of RS might interfere with adequate treatment and can contribute to a high in-hospital mortality rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously defined mechanisms of intimal hyperplasia that could be targets for molecular therapeutics aimed at vascular pathology. However, biocompatible nanocarriers are needed for effective delivery. Cationic liposomes (CLPs) have been demonstrated as effective nanocarriers in vitro. However, in vivo success has been hampered by cytotoxicity. Recently, neutral PEGylated liposomes (PLPs) have been modified with cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) to enhance cellular uptake. We aim to establish CPP-modified neutral liposomes as viable molecular nanocarriers in vascular smooth muscle cells. METHODS CLPs, PLPs, and CPP-modified PLPs (R8-PLPs) were assembled with short interfering RNA (siRNA) via ethanol injection. Characterization studies determined liposomal morphology, size, and charge. siRNA encapsulation efficiency was measured via RiboGreen assay. Vascular smooth muscle cells were exposed to equal lipid/siRNA across all groups. Rhodamine-labeled liposomes were used to quantify cell association via fluorometry, live/dead dual stain was used to measure cytotoxicity, and gene silencing was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS R8-PLPs exhibited increased encapsulation efficiency equivalent to CLPs. PLPs and R8-PLP-5 mol% and R8-PLP-10 mol% had no cytotoxic effect. CLPs demonstrated significant cytotoxicity. R8-PLP-5 mol% and R8-PLP-10 mol% exhibited increased cell association versus PLPs. R8-PLP-10 mol% resulted in significant gene silencing, in a manner dependent on lipid-to-siRNA load capacity. CONCLUSIONS The negligible cytotoxicity and enhanced cellular association and gene silencing capacity exhibited by R8-PLPs reveal this class of liposomes as a candidate for future applications. Further modifications for optimizing R8-PLPs are still warranted to improve efficacy, and in vivo studies are needed for translational development. However, this could prove to be an optimal nanocarrier for vascular gene therapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unknown whether increased endovascular treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia has led to decreases in open surgery, acute mesenteric ischemia, or overall mortality. The present study evaluates the trends in endovascular and open treatment over time for chronic and acute mesenteric ischemia. METHODS We identified patients with chronic or acute mesenteric ischemia in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample and Center for Disease Control and Prevention database from 2000 to 2012. Trends in revascularization, mortality, and total deaths were evaluated over time. Data were adjusted to account for population growth. RESULTS There were 14,810 revascularizations for chronic mesenteric ischemia (10,453 endovascular and 4,358 open) and 11,294 revascularizations for acute mesenteric ischemia (4,983 endovascular and 6,311 open). Endovascular treatment increased for both chronic (0.6-4.5/million, P < 0.01) and acute mesenteric ischemia (0.6-1.8/million, P < 0.01). However, concurrent declines in open surgery did not occur (chronic: 1-1.1/million, acute: 1.8-1.7/million). Among patients with acute mesenteric ischemia, the proportion with atrial fibrillation (18%) and frequency of embolectomy (1/million per year) remained stable. In-hospital mortality rates decreased for both endovascular (chronic: 8-3%, P < 0.01; acute: 28-17%, P < 0.01) and open treatment (chronic: 21-9%, P < 0.01; acute: 40-25%, P < 0.01). Annual population-based mortality remained stable for chronic mesenteric ischemia (0.7-0.6 deaths per million/year), but decreased for acute mesenteric ischemia (12.9-5.3 deaths per million/year, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Population mortality from acute mesenteric ischemia declined from 2000 to 2012, correlated with dramatic increases in endovascular intervention for chronic mesenteric ischemia, and in spite of a stable rate of embolization. However, open surgery for both chronic and acute ischemia remained stable.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Over the past decade, primary percutaneous mesenteric artery stenting (PMAS) has become an alternative to open revascularisation for treatment of mesenteric ischaemia. Institutes have presented favourable short-term outcomes after PMAS, but there is a lack of data on long-term stent patency. METHODS One hundred and forty-one patients treated by PMAS for acute and chronic mesenteric ischaemia over an 8 year period were studied. Anatomical success was assessed by duplex ultrasound and/or CT angiography. A stenosis ≥70% was considered to be a failure. RESULTS Eighty-six coeliac arteries (CA) and 99 superior mesenteric arteries (SMA) were treated with PMAS in 141 patients. Nine CAs (10%) and 30 SMAs (30%) were occluded at the time of treatment. Median follow-up was 32 months (IQR 20-46). The overall primary patency rate at 12 and 60 months was 77.0% and 45.0%. The overall primary assisted patency rate was 90.3% and 69.8%. Overall secondary patency was 98.3% and 93.6%. CONCLUSION This study shows excellent long-term secondary patencies after PMAS, comparable with published data on long-term patencies after open surgical revascularisation.

Abstract
The rise of endovascular techniques has improved the outcome of mesenteric ischemia. Key principle in reduction of morbidity and mortality is "revascularization first, resection later". We believe that mesenteric ischemia is a clinical challenge demanding 24/7 multidisciplinary team availability. This article describes the current insights into treatment of mesenteric ischemia.

Abstract
Angioplasty and stenting emerged as the less invasive treatment options compared to open surgical revascularization for the management of patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). However, endovascular techniques may not achieve symptomatic relief in many patients with CMI. We report our results from the endovascular management of patients with CMI. Data were reviewed from 45 patients undergoing celiac and/or mesenteric angioplasty and stenting for CMI, from October 2006 to January 2016. Angioplasty and stenting of celiac and/or mesenteric arteries were successful in relieving symptoms completely in 29 of 45 and partially in 6 of 45 patients. Only 10 of 45 patients mentioned no improvement, while symptom recurrence occurred in another 3 of 45 patients between 3 and 36 months postprocedurally due to stent occlusion. Angioplasty and stenting of celiac and/or mesenteric arteries provide symptomatic relief in a considerable percentage of patients with CMI. If symptoms fail to improve, an open surgical revascularization procedure should be considered.

Abstract
Gastric ulcer due to mesenteric ischemia is a rare clinical finding. As a result, few reports of ischemic gastric ulcers have been reported in the literature. The diagnosis of ischemic gastropathy is seldom considered in patients presenting with abdominal pain and gastric ulcers. In this case report, we describe a patient with increasing abdominal pain, weight loss, and gastric ulcers, who underwent extensive medical evaluation and whose symptoms were resistant to medical interventions. Finally he was diagnosed with chronic mesenteric ischemia, and his clinical and endoscopic abnormalities resolved after surgical revascularization of both the superior mesenteric artery and the celiac trunk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To describe the use of orbital technique of atherectomy as an adjunct to successful angioplasty and stent placement of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). CASE REPORT The technique is demonstrated in a 68-year-old man with critical SMA stenosis. The SMA was cannulated with 0.014-in wire, but the lesion was highly stenotic and densely calcified and prevented the passage of even the smallest 1.5-mm balloon. Orbital atherectomy was thus performed with a 1.25-mm CSI crown. Balloon angioplasty was then possible with a 4 mm × 2 cm balloon followed by placement of a 7 mm × 22 mm balloon-mounted stent. CONCLUSIONS The use of atherectomy as an adjunct to angioplasty and stenting in extensive, calcified SMA lesions supports the value of this technique to avoid a much larger and morbid open procedure.

Abstract
A 65-year-old man presented with an infected perivisceral aortic aneurysm after previous treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm with an endograft. On presentation, he was septic and had occlusion of the celiac, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric, and bilateral renal arteries. He underwent a three-stage procedure: first, axillobifemoral bypass; then resection of the thoracoabdominal aorta; and finally bypass from the ascending aorta to the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries with a rifampin-soaked Gelsoft graft (Vascutek, Renfrewshire, Scotland). The abdominal pain resolved, and the patient remains symptom free 10 months postoperatively. This rare surgical revascularization technique offered a nontraditional solution to a difficult surgical issue.
