N2 - Mesenteric ischaemia results from decreased blood flow to the bowel, causing cellular injury from lack of oxygen and nutrients. Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is an uncommon disorder with high morbidity and mortality, but outcomes are improved with prompt recognition and aggressive treatment. Five subgroups of AMI have been identified, with superior mesenteric artery embolism (SMAE) the most common. Older age and cardiovascular disease are common risk factors for AMI, excepting acute mesenteric venous thrombosis (AMVT), which affects younger patients with hypercoaguable states. AMI is characterized by sudden onset of abdominal pain; a benign abdominal exam may be observed prior to bowel infarction. Conventional angiography and more recently, computed tomography angiography, are the cornerstones of ...

Acute mesenteric ischemia is a relatively rare but often fatal clinical entity. Although little data exist on its true incidence, data from the Swedish Vascular Registry suggest that it may account for just 1% of reconstructions for acute thromboembolism.1 Contemporary series, however, continue to report a mortality rate of between 32% and 48%.2,3 Although autopsy studies suggest that atherosclerosis affecting the mesenteric arteries is common (6%-10%),4 symptomatic mesenteric occlusive disease is rare. However, of patients presenting with acute mesenteric ischemia, one large series found that 43% had prior symptoms of chronic mesenteric ischemia.5 The spectrum of mesenteric ischemia includes occlusive disease secondary to atherosclerotic occlusion with thrombosis, embolism, mesenteric venous thrombosis, and nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia due to vasospasm (Table 109-1). At its most florid, it may present with mesenteric infarction, intestinal perforation, and septic circulatory collapse. This ...

Endoscopic ultrasound has been proposed as a comprehensive test to evaluate chronic upper abdominal pain and is capable of Doppler measurement. We aim to evaluate the accuracy of Doppler endoscopic ultrasound (D-EUS) as a single screening test to rule out chronic mesenteric ischaemia in patients with abdominal pain and compare it with Doppler transabdominal ultrasound (D-TUS). Methods: We enrolled all patients ≥50 years with chronic upper abdominal pain and vascular risk referred for endoscopic ultrasound. All were scheduled for D-EUS and D-TUS plus a confirmatory test if ...

Acute mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening condition that can be caused by several different pathologies. Numerous treatment options are available including endovascular intervention and open surgical revascularization. Here we review the most common etiologies of acute mesenteric ischemia and modern treatment options.

The goal of treatment for mesenteric ischemia (both chronic and acute) is to re-open the artery to allow adequate blood flow to reach your intestine to allow it to work properly. Because this must be accomplished before permanent damage is done to the bowel, depending on the situation, your vascular surgeon may treat mesenteric ischemia as an emergency or as a scheduled procedure.. For chronic mesenteric ischemia, one treatment method is trans-aortic endarterectomy, which is an operation that removes the plaque that blocks your mesenteric artery. To perform this procedure, a vascular surgeon makes an incision in your abdomen, or side, and then removes the plaque contained in the inner lining of the blocked mesenteric artery. Another treatment option for chronic mesenteric ischemia is bypass surgery. In bypass surgery, the surgeon creates a detour around a narrowed or blocked section of the artery. To create this bypass, your vascular surgeon can use one of your veins or sometimes a tube made ...

Background: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a life-threatening problem, and the early clinical manifestations of it are non-specific. Despite the advances in laboratory & radiological diagnostic procedures, the mortality rate of AMI is still high. Aim: The purpose of the study to evaluate the ability of α-glutathione S-transferase (α- GST) to predict AMI in patients with abdominal pain. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in Tanta University Hospitals between November 2014 and December 2017. Nighty patients were included after clinical suspicious of AMI. Serum levels of α- GST were measured in the collected stored samples, and other biochemical markers were performed (e.g. LDH, PH, and WBC). AMI was confirmed by CT angiography or laparotomy. Patients without ischemic bowel were considered to be controls. Results: A total of 90 patients in the study, the ischemic group included 52 patients, and the non-ischemic group included 38 patients. Patients with intestinal ischemia had significant

Background: Open revascularization for acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is associated with high perioperative morbidity and mortality; however, results from contemporary studies are varied. Therefore, we evaluated 30-day mortality after open revascularization for AMI and identified preoperative factors associated with mortality. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database undergoing open mesenteric revascularization for AMI from 2005 to 2017. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. We used multivariable logistic regression to identify preoperative factors independently associated with 30-day mortality. Results: The study cohort included 918 patients; their median age was 70 years (interquartile range: 59e80 years), 62% were female, and 90% were white. Thirty-day mortality after open revascularization for AMI was 32%, specifically 35% after embolectomy, 31% after thromboendarterectomy, ...

Mesenteric ischemia is a medical condition in which injury to the small intestine occurs due to not enough blood supply.[2] It can come on suddenly, known as acute mesenteric ischemia, or gradually, known as chronic mesenteric ischemia.[1] The acute form of the disease often presents with sudden severe abdominal pain and is associated with a high risk of death.[1] The chronic form typically presents more gradually with abdominal pain after eating, unintentional weight loss, vomiting, and fear of eating.[1][2] Risk factors for acute mesenteric ischemia include atrial fibrillation, heart failure, chronic kidney failure, being prone to forming blood clots, and previous myocardial infarction.[2] There are four mechanisms by which poor blood flow occurs: a blood clot from elsewhere getting lodged in an artery, a new blood clot forming in an artery, a blood clot forming in the superior mesenteric vein, and insufficient blood flow due to low blood pressure or spasms of arteries.[3][6] Chronic disease ...

A 74-year-old hypertensive male presents with a four-hour history of acute-onset severe diffuse abdominal pain. Two weeks prior he was hospitalized with a large anterior wall MI complicated by intermittent atrial fibrillation. Due to a history of frequent falls, he was not anticoagulated. Physical examination is remarkable for an uncomfortable individual with an irregularly irregular heart rhythm and a minimally tender abdomen without peritoneal signs. Laboratory assessment is remarkable for a leukocytosis of 14,000 and mild metabolic acidosis. Electrocardiography indicates atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response between 120 and 140 beats/minute. CT scan of the abdomen illustrates a distended small bowel and a questionable filling defect within the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Mesenteric arteriography displays a mercury meniscus sign within the SMA 4 cm from the aorta. A diagnosis of cardioembolic acute mesenteric ischemia is made and the patient is immediately taken to the ...

Background: Patients with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) often exhibit severe co-morbidities and significant surgical risks, leading to high perioperative morbidity. Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of primary percutaneous stent-revascularization (PPSR) in atherosclerotic AMI and its impact on patients outcome. Material and Methods: Retrospective analysis of 19 consecutive patients (7 women, 12 men; median age, 69 years) with AMI caused by atherosclerotic, non-embolic stenoses/occlusions of the splanchnic arteries and PPSR. Alternative minimally invasive techniques were excluded. Clinical characteristics including the Charlson Comorbidity Index adjusted by age (CCIa) and symptom duration, technical and clinical success of PPSR, clinical course, 30-day mortality, and follow-up were evaluated and compared to literature data for surgical approaches. Technical success was defined as residual stenosis of ,30% in diameter. Clinical success was defined as resolution of symptoms of AMI and/or ...

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is typically defined as a group of diseases characterized by an interruption of the blood supply to varying portions of the small intestine, leading to ischemia and secondary inflammatory changes. If untreated, this process will eventuate in life threatening intestinal necrosis. The incidence is low, estimated at 0.09-0.2% of all acute surgical admissions. Therefore, although the entity is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain, diligence is always required because if untreated, mortality has consistently been reported in the range of 50%. Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention are the cornerstones of modern treatment and are essential to reduce the high mortality associated with this entity. The advent of endovascular approaches in parallel with modern imaging techniques may provide new options. Thus, we believe that a current position paper from World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) is warranted, in order to put forth the most recent and practical

Objective: Acute mesenteric ischemia (IMA) is a vascular emergency with broad variability of clinical presentations and non-specific laboratory findings. Therefore, there is a significant need for reliable serological markers of ischemia. Various laboratory studies may be performed for suspected AMI, but in general, such studies will not establish the diagnosis.Methods: In a prospective, non-interventional study, from October 2012 to October 2013, we investigated 70 patients with probable diagnosis of AMI. Blood samples were taken from patients and analyzed for complete blood count (CBC), prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), international normalized ratio (INR), urea, creatinine (Cr), sodium (Na), potassium (K), D-dimer, lactate, amylase, PH, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), and bicarbonate (HCO3). Finally the results were compared with AMI diagnosis confirmed by computed tomography (CT) angiography.Results: Seventy patients with acute severe abdominal pain were studied.

OBJECTIVE. To assess the outcome of surgical (SR) and endovascular (ER) reconstruction for chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI).. METHODS. Retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent SR or ER for CMI in 3 UK vascular surgery units between 1996 and 2006. Early (,30 days; technical success, morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay) and late (,30 days) outcomes (symptom recurrence, vessel/graft patency, reintervention, mortality) were assessed.. RESULTS. A total of 27 patients underwent 32 reconstructions (SR = 17, ER = 15). A total of 44 of 56 (79%) diseased arteries underwent SR (n = 26; bypass = 24, reimplantation = 2; occlusion = 16, stenosis = 10) or ER (n = 18; stenosis = 16, occlusion = 2). Perioperative mortality for SR and ER was 6% and 0%, respectively (P , or = .99). Hospital stay was shorter following ER (mean, 4.3 vs. 14.2 days, P = .0003). Mean (range) follow-up for SR and ER was 34 (1-94) and 34 (0-135) months, respectively. At 2 years, SR demonstrated superior ...

Acute mesenteric ischaemia with vascular occlusion could result from venous or arterial occlusion.. CT features of acute mesenteric ischaemia with arterial or venous occlusion are correlated with the results of published histopathological reports. In arterial mesenteric ischaemia, pathological findings demonstrate transmural infarction and the bowel wall is very thin. CT shows a dilated bowel segment, lack of bowel wall enhancement, thin bowel wall, and pneumatosis. In venous mesenteric thrombosis, there is oedema and vascular engorgement associated with varying degree of oedema and haemorrhage in the submucosa. CT shows concentric bowel wall thickening, and enhancement of bowel without evidence of pneumatosis. It is important to differentiate arterial occlusion from venous occlusion in acute mesenteric ischaemia because treatment and prognosis are different. When venous thrombosis is diagnosed early, the ischaemia may be reversible with anticoagulant therapy and the prognosis is good; on the ...

The outlook for chronic mesenteric ischemia is good after a successful surgery. However, it is important to make lifestyle changes to prevent hardening of the arteries from getting worse.. People with hardening of the arteries that supply the intestines often have the same problems in blood vessels that supply the heart, brain, kidneys, or legs.. People with acute mesenteric ischemia often do poorly because parts of the intestine may die before surgery can be done. This can be fatal. However, with prompt diagnosis and treatment, acute mesenteric ischemia can be treated successfully. ...

To the editor: The existence of the celiac-artery compression syndrome as a nosologic entity is questionable. Sleisenger (Ann Intern Med 86:355-356, 1977) recently emphasized the occurrence of celiac-artery compression in 12% to 49% of asymptomatic persons and suggested that there may be other underlying causes to explain the pain in these patients. The following case report illustrates the effect of an anorexiant drug with vasoactive properties in producing abdominal angina in a patient who had coexistent asymptomatic celiac-artery compression.. A 51-year-old woman complained of abdominal pain of 4 months duration. The pain was described as being periumbilical, cramping, occurring 30 ...

INTRODUCTION. Mesenteric ischemia is a rare pathology among the general population, with an incidence of 0.09%-0.2% per patient/year.1, 2 In these patients it predominantly has an occlusive origin due to thrombosis formation on preexistent atherosclerotic lesions. 3 In the dialysis population it is more common, with reported incidence rates up to 1.9% per patient/year.4 In these patients, the ischemic condition may involve the small bowel and/or the colon, and it usually is non-occlusive. Events compromising the mesenteric blood flow upon an already altered circulation due to atherosclerosis-induced stenotic lesions may precipitate the development of mesenteric ischemia. The precipitating factors may be fast and excessive ultrafiltration during the dialysis sessions with the resulting arterial hypotension, or volume depletion due to other causes independent of dialysis such as diarrhea, vomiting, fever or acute states of low cardiac output.3, 5, 6 Mesenteric ischemia is a condition with high ...

Mesenteric ischemia occurs when any of the mesenteric arteries, which supply blood to the intestines, are constricted. Because cells require blood for oxygen and nutrients, a lack of blood can cause cells to die. This is called ischemia. Ischemia in the small intestine interferes with digestion and can cause severe abdominal pain. ...

The mesenteric arteries supply blood to the small and large intestines. Ischemia, wherever they occur, is a failure of blood supply to a tissue or whole body. This is a state of impaired delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and thus improper clearing waste products from their cell metabolism.

This problem can be acute or happening fast and suddenly. Mesenteric Ischemia may be chronic, or developing over time. The body typically has safe guards in place to protect from lack of blood flow by having multiple different blood vessels serve each area of the small intestine. Injury happens not only because of lack of blood flow, but also when blood starts flowing again. The blow flow can be reduced due to blockage with a clot or a traveling particle, spasm of the vessel or decreased blood being pumped out by the heart ...

Visceral artery disease is the narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the intestines, spleen and liver. The narrowing is caused by atherosclerosis and results in a reduction in blood flow to these organs. Atherosclerosis is hardening of the arteries due to a build up of plaque, which are fatty deposits that adhere to the artery wall.. The most common presentation of visceral artery disease is chronic mesenteric ischemia, insufficient blood-flow to the intestines. It causes pain after eating and results in weight loss. It can also result in a fatal interruption of blood-flow to the intestines. Without proper flow, the intestines may begin to die and become gangrenous. This condition requires immediate diagnosis and emergency treatment.. The mesenteric arteries supply blood to the large and small intestines. When one or more of the mesenteric arteries narrow or becomes blocked, blood flow is restricted and the intestines fail to get enough oxygen. This is called ischemia - an inadequate ...

Often, the definitive diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia cannot be made clinically because of its nonspecific presentation and variable findings on physical examination. However, diffuse abdominal pain out of proportion with other findings should raise suspicion of this diagnosis.1 In stable patients in whom clinical suspicion is high, computed tomography angiography is usually the most appropriate diagnostic test, with a sensitivity and specificity close to 95%.2 However, in patients with peritoneal findings, the diagnosis is usually made with diagnostic laparoscopy3 or laparotomy.4 ...

This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of transcatheter thrombolysis in acute superior mesenteric venous thrombosis (ASMVT) associated with bowel necrosis. A retrospective study of six patients with ASMVT treated with catheter-directed thrombectomy/thrombolysis and damage control surgery at Jinling Hospital (Nanjing, China) between 2010 and 2013 was conducted. Demographics, past medical history, risk factors, therapeutic methods and effects, mortality, and follow-up of the study population were assessed. Five of six patients underwent arteriovenous combined thrombolysis, while one patient underwent arterial thrombolysis. All patients required damage control surgery, and four of these patients underwent temporary abdominal closure. All patients survived and were free of recurrence. Transcatheter thrombectomy/thrombolysis and damage control surgery could help avoid extensive bowel resection, prevent short bowel syndrome and reduce mortality for critically ill patients with acute mesenteric

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) comprises a group of pathophysiologic processes that have a common end point-bowel necrosis. The survival rate has not improved substantially during the past 70 years, and the major reason is the continued difficulty in recognizing the condition before bowel infarction occurs[1, 2].. Clinical presentation is nonspecific in most cases and can be characterized by an initial discrepancy between severe abdominal pain and minimal clinical findings. In general, patients with AMI have an acute onset of symptoms and a rapid deterioration in their clinical condition. Complications such as ileus, peritonitis, pancreatitis, and gastrointestinal bleeding may also mask the initial signs and symptoms of AMI[2].. Acute mesenteric ischemia can be categorized into 4 specific types based on its cause. The most frequent cause is arterial emboli. They are responsible for approximately 40% to 50% of cases[1, 3]. Most mesenteric emboli originate from a cardiac source. The second most ...

A 25 year old primigravida presented at 38 weeks gestation with complaints of pain in abdomen and three episodes of vomiting. Pulse was 92/ minute and blood pressure was 110/ 70 mm Hg. Cardiovascular and respiratory system were unremarkable. Abdominal examination showed a single fetus in cephalic presentation with regular fetal hearts, and vaginal examination was suggestive of latent labor. Urine albumin was nil and preeclampsia was ruled out. Vomiting as a premonitory symptom of eclampsia was considered less likely. Oxytocin drip (2.5 units in 500 ml ringer lactate) was started at 8 drops/ min. Regular vaginal examination showed progress of labor. However, around 4 hours after starting oxytocin, she complained of severe abdominal pain, not related to uterine activity, and examination showed guarding, tenderness and rigidity. There were features of acute abdomen with shoulder tip pain. There was progressive breathlessness, tachycardia, hypotension and distension of abdomen, and there was sudden ...

Thrombosis of the mesenteric veins can lead to acute bowel ischemia. Mesenteric vein thrombosis is an urgent surgical disease and requires urgent surgery.

The team found that 51 patients had mesenteric venous thrombosis, and 6 were diagnosed at autopsy. The highest incidence of 11 per 100, 000 person-years was in the age category 70 to 79 years. The research team noted that activated protein C resistance was present in 13 of 29 patients tested. D-dimer at admission was raised in all 5 patients tested. Multidetector row computed tomography in the portal venous phase was diagnostic in all 20 patients investigated, of whom 19 were managed conservatively. The researchers found that the median length of resected bowel in 12 patients who had surgery was 0.6 m. The overall 30-day mortality rate was 20%.. The team observed that intestinal infarction, treatment on a non-surgical ward, and computed tomography not done were associated with increased mortality. Cancer was independently associated with long-term mortality.. Portal venous phase computed tomography appeared sensitive in diagnosing mesenteric venous thrombosis. Dr Acosta s team concluded, As ...

Unfortunately, significant delays often occur between presentation and the diagnosis of MVT because of the nonspecific nature of symptoms.
