Superior mesenteric artery thrombosis with concomitant pancreaticoduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm in a 60-year-old male patient - A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionVascular complications like superior mesenteric artery (SMA) thrombosis and pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) pseudoaneurysm carry high morbidity and mortality. SMA provides the primary arterial supply to the small intestine and ascending colon. PDA aneurysms are extremely rare, accounting for only 2 % of all visceral artery aneurysms. We present a rare case of SMA thrombosis with concomitant PDA pseudoaneurysm. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein is the case of a 60-year-old male who presented with rectorrhagia, persistent generalized abdominal pain. After being diagnosed with colitis and mesenteric artery thrombosis based on a computed tomography (CT) scan, he was discharged from the hospital with rivaroxaban and mesalazin. However, he had to return to the hospital due to worsening of the symptoms. After a proper workout, SMA artery thrombosis with a concomitant PDA pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed for him. Therefore, he underwent surgery to stent the thrombosis and coil the pseudoaneurysm. His symptoms dramatically improved after the treatment. DISCUSSION: Angiography is the diagnostic and, with embolization, therapeutic procedure of choice, with surgery as a backup if embolization fails. However, even with these procedures, the mortality rate is high if the pseudoaneurysm ruptures.
conclusionIn order to carry out the proper choice of surgical treatment before further complications occur, SMA thrombosis and PDA pseudoaneurysms must be investigated in each patient presenting with nonspecific abdominal pain, regardless of the risk factors.
