Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness, indications, and patient profiles of bypass procedures performed on intra-abdominal visceral arteries. Methods: Ten patients who underwent between 2019 and 2024 were included in the study. Results: In five patients (4 females, 1 male; range, 38 to 64 years), the procedure was part of a hybrid treatment due to aortic pathology. The procedure was performed due to mesenteric ischemia in three patients (2 males, 1 female; range, 50 to 65 years), following left renal artery injury in one female patient (aged 67 years), and due to a pancreatic tumor in another female patient (aged 57 years), which required a bypass to the hepatic artery. During follow-up, no early mortality was observed. Conclusion: Bypass procedures on intra-abdominal visceral arteries yield successful outcomes in treating arterial stenosis causing mesenteric ischemia, as part of hybrid treatments for aortic pathologies, and in abdominal surgeries requiring revascularization.
