Mesenteric Artery Bypass Surgery

Mesenteric artery bypass surgery restores circulation to the intestines by creating a new route for blood to flow around one or more blocked mesenteric arteries. To bypass the blockage, a surgeon uses a vein from the patient or a synthetic graft to create a new pathway that reroutes blood flow to the intestines. This procedure is typically recommended when less invasive treatments, such as stenting, are not suitable or have failed.
