May support balloon fenestration for iatrogenic SMA dissection; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
We present a case of acute abdominal pain due to a long-segment iatrogenic superior mesenteric artery dissection, which was immediately treated successfully with balloon fenestration of the intimal flap, resulting in complete resolution of the symptoms without recurrence during the 2-year follow-up period.
