Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy is a safe and effective treatment for addressing thrombosis in various embolic diseases. In recent years, this approach has also been actively applied in the management of acute embolic occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery. A pseudoaneurysm as a complication of this operation is remarkably rare. This is the first case report of the diagnosis and treatment of a pseudoaneurysm that developed as a complication after the application of percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy via an AngioJet device for thrombolysis in the superior mesenteric artery.

Abstract Background:Acute superior mesenteric artery embolism is a life-threatening disease and the prognosis is very poor. Few reports have described the application of Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute superior mesenteric artery embolism. In the article, we show a series of cases treated with Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy and share our experience.Methods:Review and analyze seven patients with acute superior mesenteric artery embolism treated by Angiojet Ultra thrombectomy system in our institution. Based on the literature, we summarize the diagnosis, treatment and surgical experience of acute superior mesenteric artery embolism. Results:Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy were achieved successfully in all the patients without surgical complication occurred. Five patients’ symptoms relieved significantly and smoothly discharged from the hospital. Two patients still complained of abdominal pain after operation. One patient underwent surgical laparotomy and intestinal resection and the other one abandoned surgical treatment. During the first six months of follow-up, six patients were free of any clinical symptoms or signs and one patient who refused laparotomy died two days later with septic shock.Conclusion:Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy by Angiojet Ultra thrombectomy system is a safe, effective and minimally invasive method in the initial stage of acute superior mesenteric artery embolism. We believe Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy could be a promising alternative in selected cases. Furthermore, large sample data and long term follow-up are needed to verify its effect.

Abstract Background. The present series present three consecutive cases of successful percutaneous mechanical embolectomy in acute superior mesenteric artery ischemia. Superior mesenteric artery embolism is a rare abdominal emergency that commonly leads to bowel infarction and has a very high mortality rate. Prompt recognition and treatment are crucial for successful outcome. Endovascular therapeutic approach in patients with acute SMA embolism in median portion of its stem is proposed. Case reports. Three male patients had experienced a sudden abdominal pain and acute superior mesenteric artery embolism in median portion of its stem was revealed on computed tomography angiography. No signs of intestinal infarction were present. The decision for endovascular treatment was made in concordance with the surgeons. In one patient 6 French gauge Rotarex® device was used while in others 6 French gauge Aspirex® device were used. All patients experienced sudden relief of pain after the procedure with no signs of intestinal infarction. Minor procedural complication - rupture of a smaller branch of SMA during Aspirex® treatment was successfully managed by coiling while transient paralytic ileus presented in one patient resolved spontaneously. All three patients remained symptom-free with patent superior mesenteric artery during the follow-up period. Conclusions. Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy seems to be a rapid and effective treatment of acute superior mesenteric artery embolism in median portion of its stem in absence of bowel necrosis. Follow-up of our patients showed excellent short- and long-term results.
