Info

Typical features of localized arterial dissection with resultant aneurysmal dilatation of the superior mesenteric artery. Both true and false lumens enhance producing a "double barrel" lumen. This lesion seems to have occurred on the basis of underlying atherosclerosis as there is typical intimal calcification in the arterial wall.
