However some studies have shown an increased incidence of AMI after performing an exhaustive analysis of 402 autopsies and surgeries (1970-1982 Malmo, Sweden). All mesenteric ischemia (MI) has and incidence of 12.9 cases of MI/10000 inhabitants/year, 67% thromboembolic SMA occlusion, 16% mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT), 15% non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) and 2% have indeterminate cause. We present a patient with SMA treated satisfactorily with a new thromboaspiration system.2019http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/7880110.26717/BJSTR.2019.13.002451http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/78801oai:zaguan.unizar.es:78801Biomedical journal of scientific & technical research 13, 5 (2019), 1-3byhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
