Computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed a high-grade stenosis at the ostia of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), the celiac trunk, and the inferior mesenteric artery [Figure 1].

Once again CTA was repeated, showing patent splanchnic arteries [Figure 3a]. However, an impressive hyperperfusion state of liver and spleen was visualized, accompanied by ascites (Figure 3b).
