Superior Mesenteric Artery Occlusion Treated by Ileo-colic Aortic Anastomosis

Abstract

The 102 women were a very assorted group in shape, size, age, and occupation, as they were chosen only by their length of sentence. As a toxic reaction was found only in 3 % and was of a mild nature it can be assumed that it is safe and probably advantageous to give metronidazole in twice-daily doses. I thank Dr. Martin Hynes, consultant pathologist to the Royal Northern Hospital, and his laboratory staff for culturing and reading our specimens, and Dr. P. M. Button for her help in taking the tests. I am indebted to the Prison Commissioners for giving me permission to publish this paper. I thank May & Baker Ltd. for generous supplies of " flagyl."

Superior mesenteric artery occlusion treated by common iliac-ileocolic anastomosis

“…In this view we agree with Ranger and Spence (1962), whose description of a side-to-side anastomosis between the aorta and ileocolic artery prompted Vol. 53, No.…”

An arteriographic study of mesenteric arterial disease. I. Large vessel changes.

“…Practical importance is lent to the present study by the numerous reports of the successful treatment of both acute and chronic intestinal ischaemia which have appeared in the past 10 years. These include surgical relief by embolectomy (Shaw and Rutledge, 1957), by thrombendarterectomy (Shaw and Maynard, 1958;Mikkelsen and Zaro, 1959), and by reconstructive bypass procedures (Morris and De Bakey, 1961;Ranger and Spence, 1962;Brolin and Hansson, 1964). Acute infarction of the intestinal tract is associated with a high mortality.…”
