ABSTRACT

Cases of symptomatic v. mesenterica sup. (VMS) occlusion is rare. Patients usually complain of abdominal pain and present gastrointestinal bleeding. Occlusion can cause v. portae thrombosis and even lead to congestive bowel infarc- tion [1,2]. We present a case of 49-year-old man, who complained about recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding throughout the period of two years and was finally treated with revascularisation of VMS at the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (HLUHS) Kauno klinikos.

Keywords: V. mesenterica sup. Angioplasty, v. mesenterica sup. Occlusion.
