| Abstrakt: | Due to the extensive collateral arterial network, symptomatic chronic mesenteric ischemia is a relatively uncommon condition and is associated with severe atherosclerotic disease of all major visceral arteries. Open surgical repair has been commonly used to restore blood supply to the visceral arteries, and the "roof-top" approach has been advocated as an alternative technique to traditional midline incision, mainly because of the great exposure of the suprarenal aorta that it offers. Roof-top approach, in other words, bilateral subcostal incision, is a totally abdominal approach to the suprarenal aorta, and as the title says, it is like a roof-top on the abdominal wall. We present a case of a female patient with intestinal angina that was deemed unsuitable for endovascular repair (ER) and was treated with open surgical repair utilizing the "roof-top" approach.
