Endovascular aneurysm repair with mesenteric artery bypass for abdominal aortic aneurysm with occlusion of celiac and superior mesenteric arteries.

A 67-year-old male patient required surgical management of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a saccular infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm and occlusion of the origins of the celiac artery, superior mesenteric artery, and inferior mesenteric artery. Aortography revealed large amounts of blood flow from capillaries around the abdominal aorta to the inferior mesenteric artery and retrograde blood flow to a meandering mesenteric artery through the superior rectal artery. Considering the risk of bowel ischemia, we performed endovascular aneurysm repair with mesenteric artery bypass. The operation was successful, and his postoperative course was uneventful. This procedure could be useful and less invasive.
