Factors predicting long-term outcomes of percutaneous angioplasty and stenting of the superior mesenteric artery for chronic mesenteric ischemia

Background: To analyse the long-term outcomes of percutaneous angioplasty and stenting of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in the treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI), and to assess predictive factors for a better clinical outcome. Patients and methods: Retrospective analysis of 76 consecutive patients, treated percutaneously for CMI between January 1999 and January 2018 and followed up until the end of 2018.
