The Authors report a case of coeliac axis atheromatous obstruction, with superior mesenteric artery steal. The coeliac axis, stopped up the origin was indirectly revascularized by hepatic artery. The early diagnosis of chronic intestinal ischaemia should avoid the intestinal infarction. The development of intravenous digital angiography will certainly help an early diagnosis.
