PURPOSE: Data regarding endovascular treatment of chronic @entity5327 (CMI) are sparse. Angioplasty is often accompanied by early restenosis and the need of further interventions. Thus we present our own @entity1 ' data and review the recent literature. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all endovascular CMI treatments performed from 2008 to 2012 (27 @entity1 , 14 females, mean age 70    9 years). @entity1 ' data were retrieved from electronic health records. @entity1 ' follow-up included routinely performed color-coded ultrasonography, and, if performed for other clinical reasons, computed tomography or angiography. In addition, data extracted from 11 studies focusing on endovascular CMI treatment were analyzed. RESULTS: Procedures were performed without clinical complications in all @entity1 . Seven @entity1 received pure angioplasty and 20 @entity1 stent-assisted angioplasties using bare metal stents, respectively. Three @entity1 died 3, 5 and 32 months after the intervention. Five @entity1 underwent re-intervention (one early restenosis at day 4 after pure angioplasty with stent placement and four because of in-stent restenosis, 5 to 23 months after placement). Another @entity1 was treated surgically because of stent occlusion and reoccurring @entity951 15 months after the intervention. The 11 studies found in the literature included 429 cases with 196 treatments of the coeliac trunk (truncus coeliacus = TC), 319 of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and 42 of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). Patency rates in the more recent studies were high with up to 80% within 1 year. Data of earlier studies report longer follow-up periods and indicate low patency rates after three years. Our 2-year patency rate of 50% is within the range of reported patency data. CONCLUSIONS: The presented data show that endovascular SMA treatment is a suitable and safe procedure in @entity1 suffering from CMI, but long-term results are limited.
