Retrograde Stent Placement for Symptomatic Spontaneous Isolated Dissection of the Superior Mesenteric Artery

We report an experience with retrograde open mesenteric stenting for SIDSMA. A 45-year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute onset of severe abdominal and back pain. Computed tomography angiography revealed a long occlusion of the SMA trunk. Initially, an endovascular solution was attempted, but this was unsuccessful as the guidewire failed to cross the lesion.
