Abstract

Acute mesenteric ischaemia is a serious condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. Atherosclerosis is one of the most frequent etiologic factors.

This case report presents a patient suffering from acute mesenteric ischaemia complicated by acute lower limb ischaemia and post-ischaemic stenosis of the ileum. Such a patient requires a multidisciplinary, comprehensive, and, in some cases, phased approach to solve complications brought about especially by generalized atherosclerosis.
