Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting of Superior Mesenteric Artery in Chronic Intestinal Ischemia Associated with Decompensated Chronic Heart Failure (Clinical Case Report)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Chronic intestinal ischemic syndrome (CIIS) is a pathology associated with chronic circulatory insufficiency in the visceral branches of the abdominal aorta. Duplex ultrasound can be used as the first imaging method to identify mesenteric artery stenosis. In general clinical practice, the diagnosis of CIIS is relatively rare. Expansion of application of percutaneous endovascular angioplasty and stenting of mesenteric arteries in recent years has significantly increased the effectiveness of treating patients with atherosclerotic lesion of the visceral arteries and CIIS.

AIM: To demonstrate a clinical case of use of X-ray endovascular technologies in CIIS in a patient of cardiology profile.

A clinical case of a patient with CIIS and severe decompensated polymorbidity is presented. Due to severity of the condition and impossibility of full examination for this reason, the patient was not included in the waiting list for heart transplantation despite the existence of indications for it. He was admitted to hospital for urgent indications. Ultrasound data revealed stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery. Balloon angioplasty and stenting of the superior mesenteric artery were successful. After discharge, the patient’s condition was satisfactory.

CONCLUSION: The case demonstrates that effective treatment of even one of many comorbid diseases in a severe polymorbidity patient can improve his general condition, reduce load on the cardiovascular system and reverse edematous-ascitic syndrome.
