Abdominal angina and fear of eating are manifestations of mesenteric ischemia. This infrequent cause of abdominal pain was diagnosed in a 60-year-old female smoker. We performed a novel side-to-side aorto-mesenteric anastomosis for mesenteric revascularization, with good short-term (6 months) result.
