Abstract Background Mesenteric ischemia is associated with poor outcome and high overall mortality. The aim was to analyze an interdisciplinary treatment approach of vascular visceral specialists focusing on the in-hospital follow-up in patients acute acute-on-chronic mesenteric ischemia. Methods From 2010 until 2017, 26 consecutive or chronic were treated by team. Data prospectively collected ...

BACKGROUND Intestinal ischemia is an abdominal emergency that accounts for approximately 2% of gastrointestinal illnesses. It represents a complex of diseases caused by impaired blood perfusion to the small and/or large bowel including acute arterial mesenteric ischemia (AAMI), acute venous mesenteric ischemia (AVMI), non occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI), ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R), ...

Acute mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening vascular emergency that requires early diagnosis and intervention to adequately restore mesenteric blood flow and to prevent bowel necrosis and patient death. The underlying cause is varied, and the prognosis depends on the precise pathologic findings. Despite the progress in understanding the pathogenesis of mesenteric ischemia and the developmen...

Mesenteric ischemia after cardiac surgery is rare but dramatic. We present a patient who had acute mesenteric ischemia following low cardiac output after coronary artery bypass grafting. Our patient was successfully treated with continuous intra-arterial perfusion with papaverine. We think that selective angiography must be performed as early as mesenteric ischemia is suspected, to get earlier ...

The article reviews the intestinal ischemia theme on newborn and children. The intestinal ischemia may be either acute - intestinal infarction (by vascular obstruction or by reduced mesenteric blood flow besides the occlusive mechanism), either chronic. In neonates, acute intestinal ischemia may be caused by aortic thrombosis, volvulus or hypoplastic left heart syndrome. In children, acute inte...

objective(s):biochemical markers are important for the timely diagnosis and follow-up of ischemic events. most of the markers have been previously studied in the context of cardiac ischemia. however, research on markers of non-cardiac events has been insufficient. therefore, we investigated the relationship between troponin and myoglobin which are commonly used markers of cardiac ischemia, in n...

Introduction Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a life threatening disease and one of the emergency surgery conditions (1). A gradual obstruction, known as chronic mesenteric ischemia does not cause a serious problem because of formation of collateral vessels. However, an acute obstruction of either main mesenteric arteries or even one of the branches causes severe symptoms and needs early inte...

The patient's white blood cell (WBC) count was 17,000/μL (no left shift). Viral gastroenteritis was diagnosed by the ED physicians. Very mild right-sided weakness and occasional "pins and needles" sensations in the right leg were residual effects of a stroke the patient had suffered 9 years earlier. He also had hypercholesteremia, with a high low-density lipoprotein level and a low high-density...
