Acute Mesenteric Ischemia Caused by Rare Cardiac Tumor Embolus

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a rare vascular emergency associated with a high mortality rate. The most common cause of AMI is cardiac emboli from thrombi associated with atrial fibrillation or following myocardial infarction. We present a case of AMI caused by a unique source of emboli, confir...

description Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a rare vascular emergency associated with a high mortality rate. The most common cause of AMI is cardiac emboli from thrombi associated with atrial fibrillation or following myocardial infarction. We present a case of AMI caused by a unique source of emboli, confirmed as an embolization of a cardiac sarcoma to the small bowel by matching biopsies obtained from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the embolic source.
