The Authors present four cases of embolism of the superior mesenteric artery treated surgically, with satisfactory results, through embolectomy with Fogarty's catheter. The Authors affirm the necessity of always following this type of intervention, given its simplicity and the high rate of mortality of non treated embolism. Some anatomical and physio-pathological considerations are remembered and diagnostic and surgical promptness are recommended.
作者介绍了4例通过使用Fogarty导管进行栓子切除术手术治疗肠系膜上动脉栓塞的病例，结果令人满意。作者肯定了始终采用这类干预措施的必要性，因为其操作简单，且未治疗的栓塞死亡率很高。文中回顾了一些解剖学和生理病理学方面的考虑因素，并建议诊断和手术要迅速。
