Air within surgical arterial graft on computed tomography—An alarming finding of a rare complication

We present a case of a 61 years old lady operated 2 years back for severe superior mesenteric artery stenosis with a surgical vascular graft and presenting as acute severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Her CT angiography showed occlusion of the surgical vascular graft with graft migration into small...

description We present a case of a 61 years old lady operated 2 years back for severe superior mesenteric artery stenosis with a surgical vascular graft and presenting as acute severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Her CT angiography showed occlusion of the surgical vascular graft with graft migration into small bowel. Both the findings of graft occlusion and bowel perforation were optimally demonstrated on the CT angiography study. The alarm of bowel perforation in addition to graft infection was raised by the presence of air pockets within the graft and its communication with bowel lumen. Coexistent graft infection was evident on graft culture.
