• Banerjee, A., O'Neil, R., & Bidstrup, H. (1994). Adult respiratory distress syndrome caused by superior mesenteric artery syndrome. Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 22(5), 602.  Notes: Case report of a 35-year-old woman hospitalized with respiratory distress. While hospitalized she experienced various GI symptoms tolerating only tpn, and increased respiratory failure, leading to multiple intubations and tracheotomy. Following SMAS diagnosis and surgical treatment (gastrojejunostomy, pyloroplasty, and highly selective vagotomy) she began to tolerate oral liquids and her breathing returned to normal. It is assumed respiratory failure was due to repeated aspiration pneumonia. Link: http://www.aaic.net.au/search.aspx?q=banerjee&ST=q
