Revascularization in mesenteric infarction by reimplantation of the superior mesenteric artery. Report of a case.

A case of revascularization in mesenteric infarction by reimplantation of the superior mesenteric artery combined with intestinal resection is presented. The patient had an acute occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery with coincident blockage of celiac axis and inferior mesenteric artery resulting in gangrene and perforation of the small bowel. The good postoperative recovery suggests the usefulness of this method in selected cases.
