Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a vascular disorder primarily caused by atherosclerosis, resulting in intestinal ischemia. While endovascular treatment has become the primary modality for most patients, open mesenteric revascularization remains crucial for complex cases. We present a case of CMI in a patient with critical ischemia, leading to small bowel necrosis, where the endovascular recanalization failed and a surgical approach was needed. A supraceliac antegrade aortomesenteric bypass...
