Endovascular procedures in occlusion of SMA

Endovascular procedure	Advantages and challenges	References
Aspiration embolectomy	Lower mortality Patients without peritonitis Repeat procedures	[100, 101]
SMA thrombolysis	Bleeding complications Laparotomy required in 38% Patients without peritonitis Contraindicated: recent surgery, trauma, cerebrovascular or gastrointestinal bleeding, and uncontrolled hypertension	[102]
Antegrade stenting	Risk of dissection Unfavorable artery angulation	[103]
Retrograde stenting	Laparotomy necessary Avoiding bypass when necrotic bowel presents Success 94%	[104–106]
