Schematic diagram for index case showing dissecting flap in the CMT, which is extending into the origin of SMA and thrombosis causing near complete occlusion of the mid and distal SMA, of which distal-most portion and proximal SMA filled up with collateral supply through the IMA via an arc of Riolan, and artery of Drummond (C1, C2). Other collaterals depicted in the image are of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery with the CA (C3). [CA—celiac  axis, SMA—superior mesenteric artery, HA—hepatic artery, SA—splenic artery, LGA—left gastric artery, C—collateral] (Note: Figure adapted from Alam et al. [18])
