Segmental arterial mediolysis

Segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) is a rare disorder of the arteries characterized by the development of aneurysms, blood clots, narrowing of the arteries (stenoses), and blood collections (hematomas) in the affected distribution.[1][2]

SAM most commonly affects the arteries supplying the intestines and abdominal organs.
