Learn how UpToDate can help you. Acute superior mesenteric arterial occlusion, in the absence of preexisting stenosis such as with embolism, causes a greater reduction in blood flow compared with other causes of intestinal ischemia. This is due to the lack of collateralization in the presence of relatively normal arterial vasculature.

Superior mesenteric vein Superior mesenteric vein. The superior mesenteric vein, also known as (SMV) transports blood from the small intestine and the cecum. It follows a path similar to that of the superior mesenteric artery. This vein is located in the abdominal cavity next to the superior mesenteric artery.Where it ends, near the neck of the pancreas, it forms the hepatic portal vein by coming together with the splenic vein. Other tributaries of SMV drain other organs such as the stomach, large intestine, and appendix.nother rare condition that can be associated with the superior mesenteric vein is mesenteric ischemia. This is when the small intestine is inflamed or possibly injured due to inadequate blood supply, and this can be fatal.

What Is Mesenteric Artery Ischemia? Mesenteric artery ischemia is a condition that restricts blood flow to your intestines. There are three main arteries that supply blood to your small and large intestines.These are called the mesenteric arteries. Narrowing or blockage of the arteries reduces the amount of blood that travels to your digestive tract.When your intestines do not receive enough oxygen-rich blood, it can lead to serious health problems—including cell death and permanent damage.hese are called the mesenteric arteries.

- Other causes of mesenteric adenopathy have typical clinical symptoms and do not produce the large bulky adenopathy that results in the sandwich sign. Mesenteric lymphomas can also show retroperitoneal adenopathy and increased attenuation of the mesentery (misty mesentery). In our case, the absence of symptoms, imaging findings of mesenteric soft-tissue nodules producing sandwich sign and retroperitoneal lymph nodes made lymphoma the most likely diagnosis.

Background Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) usually results from long-standing atherosclerotic disease of 2 or more mesenteric vessels.Other nonatheromatous causes of CMI include the vasculitides, such as Takayasu arteritis. Symptoms are caused by the gradual reduction in blood flow to the intestine.(See Presentation.) In 1958, Shaw and Maynard described the first thromboendarterectomy of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) for the treatment of both acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) and CMI.
