A 68-year-old patient from Sibiu underwent a hybrid intervention combining open surgery and interventional radiology after a failed revascularization attempt. The procedure, a national first, restored blood flow through the superior mesenteric artery, crucial for intestinal health. The patient suffered from chronic mesenteric ischemia, leading to critical complications. Following an unsuccessful endovascular approach, surgeons opted for an open surgery to access the artery directly. They successfully performed retrograde angioplasty and stenting, ensuring the patient's recovery. A multidisciplinary team of specialists collaborated for this complex procedure, which resulted in a favorable outcome for the patient.
