A 71-year-old male was admitted on intensive care unit after endovascular aneurysm repair of ruptured infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. 2 weeks later, he had multiple episodes of bloody diarrhea. Colonoscopy revealed diffuse dusky mucosal coloration with loss of vasculature pattern, diseased haustrations, and diffuse areas of pneumatosis, suggestive of severe colonic ischemia.
