Thrombosis of the Superior Mesenteric Artery and Hepatic Artery Secondary to Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis: Case Report and Literature Review. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol.

We describe the case of a female patient with severe acute pancreatitis of biliary origin who presented with clinical deterioration. A thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery and hepatic artery was identified as the cause, thus creating a rare vascular complication. She was taken for pharmacological and mechanical thrombectomy, with the subsequent death of the patient. Arterial vascular complications are an entity little recognized in the medical literature; they have a high mortality rate and pose a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.

Keywords : Acute pancreatitis; thrombosis; complication; biliary pancreatitis; thrombectomy.
