Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome

Medical condition

Superior mesenteric artery ( SMA ) syndrome is a gastro-vascular disorder in which the third and final portion of the duodenum is compressed between the abdominal aorta (AA) and the overlying superior mesenteric artery. This rare, potentially life-threatening syndrome is typically caused by an angle of 6–25° between the AA and the SMA, in comparison to the normal range of 38–56°, due to a lack of retroperitoneal and visceral fat (mesenteric fat). In addition, the aortomesenteric distance is 2–8 millimeters, as opposed to the typical 10–20.

Coronary artery mycotic aneurysm in a patient suffering from subacute endocarditis: a case report and literature review
2023
Although mycotic aneurysm is a known and important disease in the cerebrovascular system, especially the brain, there are scarce reports about coronary artery mycotic aneurysms (CAMA). CAMA can occur not only in the context of endocarditis but also as a rare adverse event of coronary artery stenting, which has been used more extensively in recent years. Accordingly, it is essential to pay greater attention to its associated presentations and clinical course. Considering the scant evidence available, reporting the …
