−
*Wall of artery grossly thickened (organising thrombi, inflammatory responses)
 
−
*Can be detected on rectal palpation

*May get embolism → infarction of areas of intestinal wall → colic or chronic ulceration (note: generally good collateral circulation; therefore colic is not inevitable)
 
−
*Aberrant larvae may cause thrombosis in other arteries; e.g. iliac, cerebral, coronary
