    AbstractEndovascular therapy for chronic mesenteric ischemia is a proven, feasible alternative approach to open surgical repair with significantly lower morbidity and mortality. A clinical dilemma is encountered when technically challenging lesions are encountered during the procedure. We present here an 86 year-old woman who had intractable abdominal pain with postprandial exacerbation. The patient had successful endovascular light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation atherectomy of a highly calcified celiac truck, showing the feasibility of this technique.Copyright © 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
