description The thrombosis of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) can result in ischemia of the intestine. A 71-year-old male presented with pain in the abdomen and a black tarry stool. The findings from computed tomography (CT) with the contrast of the abdomen suggest the thrombosis of the SMV. Heparin was administered, followed by thrombectomy and stenting of the SMV. The patient reported no complications and was shifted from heparin to apixaban and then discharged after a five-day hospital stay.
