Recanalization of Visceral Complex Chronic Total Occlusions: An Innovative Triaxial Endovascular Technique - Abstract
Chronic mesenteric ischemia is an uncommon disease and its management remains
a challenge, especially in patients with severely calcified occlusions of both celiac and
superior mesenteric arteries. Endovascular therapy has been increasingly performed
to treat this entity due to its favorable outcomes when compared with open surgery.
As so, we report three cases of severe chronic mesenteric ischemia with highly calcified
occlusion of both celiac and superior mesenteric artery treated by endovascular
approach using an innovative triaxial technique.
