extensive ischemic compromise, no resection should be done. Factors that seem to alter early survival are early diagnosis and anticoagulation, associated diseases and patient age. The relapse rate is high; thus, when a hereditary hypercoagulable state is detected, prolonged systemic anticoagulation should be maintained, while in other pro-thrombotic conditions 6 months of treatment provide adequate coverage. In summary, in patients with abdominal pain that has developed over several days or weeks with no demonstrated cause, MVT should be considered since early treatment can avoid mesenteric ischemia or a fatal outcome.
