Abstract:Objective: To report our experience with a new technique for recanalization of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA)/celiac trunk (CT) with complete occlusion at the origin. Technique: We describe our ABS-SMART (Aortic Balloon Supporting for Superior Mesenteric Artery Recanalization Technique) for recanalization of the CT and SMA in cases of complete occlusion of these arteries with a short or inexistent stump, which usually corresponds to chronic lesions with important calcification of the ostium. Conclusion: … Show more
