Abstract Newer evidence states that COVID 19 pneumonia induces a hypercoagulable state leading to vascular and microvascular thrombotic events. Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a potentially fatal vascular emergency with overall mortality of 60% to 80%. [1] However till date, only few cases of SMA thrombosis in COVID-19 positive patients are reported and most have succumbed to COVID-19 or mesenteric ischaemia. [2-4] Physicians treating COVID 19 usually treat respiratory symptoms and may completely overlook any other uncommon pathology. This case report emphasises that a patient with early detection and management of acute mesenteric ischaemia being symptomatic for COVID 19 can avoid major bowel surgery and negate any morbidity or mortality associated with the same.

Long Saphenous Vein

Acute mesenteric ischaemia is a relatively rare surgical emergency, but despite advances in diagnostic tests, the mortality of this condition remains stubbornly high (50%–80%). This is principally because of the non-specific nature of the presenting symptoms and subsequent delay in diagnosis. We report an unusual case of acute mesenteric ischaemia treated by emergency laparotomy, small bowel resection and revascularisation using reversed long saphenous vein graft.
