Microcatheter-Directed Thrombolysis Using Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator for the Treatment of Acute Superior Mesenteric Artery Embolism: A Case Report

Microcatheter-Directed Thrombolysis Using Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator for the Treatment of Acute Superior Mesenteric Artery Embolism: A Case Report

<i>Background</i>: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a life-threatening condition, and in 50% of patients, AMI is caused by acute superior mesenteric artery (SMA) embolism. Endovascular treatment is increasingly being considered the primary modality in selected cases. Many studies have...
