Abstract
Drummond’s marginal artery was revascularized by anastomosis with the left renal artery in two patients with visceral ischemia due to occlusion of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries. In this manner, the authors avoided entering an infected abdominal cavity, interposition bypass and aortic clamping. In both cases, visceral arterial supply was improved. In one case, a left renal steal syndrome was observed. Because of possible renal involvement, indications for this technique should be carefully chosen.
