Isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection (ISMAD) is a rare cause of acute abdominal conditions. Most cases of ISMAD have a favorable prognosis, and only a few cases of ISMAD-associated intestinal necrosis have been reported. A 75-year-old male was referred to our department because of abdominal pain and portal venous gas detected on imaging. Computed tomography suggested ileal necrosis, necessitating emergency surgery. Indocyanine green was used for blood flow assessment; however, no fluorescence was observed in the ileum proximal to the Bauhin valve, leading to the decision for ileocecal resection. On postoperative day 6, abdominal pain recurred when meals were resumed. As a surgical intervention for ISMAD, a bypass was created using the left great saphenous vein as a graft between the superior mesenteric artery and the right external iliac artery. This case highlights a rare occurrence where intestinal necrosis recurred due to ISMAD. We propose that in cases of ISMAD with concomitant intestinal necrosis, a more aggressive revascularization strategy for the dissected segment of the superior mesenteric artery may be required.
