ABSTRACT
Ischemic hepatitis due to mesenteric artery occlusion is extremely rare. This is due to the function of the collateral network of the celiac-mesenteric arterial system and portal venous flow. A 64-year-old male presented with abdominal pain, a significantly reduced general condition, a weight loss of 20 kg in 4 months. Computed tomography showed occlusion of the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery and hypodense lesions in the liver. We performed an antegrade visceral reconstruction with a bifurcated 12-6 mm Dacron graft from the supra-celiac aortic donor to the superior mesenteric and celiac arteries. The postoperative course and follow-up were uneventful.
