Chao, H. (2009). 1390: Correlation of aortomesenteric angle and malnourished status with SMA syndrome in suspicious malnourished pediatric patients. Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 35(8), S205-S205. doi:10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2009.06.775  

            Notes: Aortomesenteric angles were measured in 103 patients with very low BMIs to find a correlation between malnourishment and SMAS. Malnourishment and SMAS did not correlate significantly, but SMAS and low aortomesenteric angle did correlate significantly.
