Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia

Chronic mesenteric ischemia may be a rare condition, generally characterized by postprandial abdominal pain. Although chronic mesenteric ischemia accounts for less than alittle percentage of all mesenteric ischemic events, it can have significant clinical consequences. There are multiple etiologies; however, the foremost common cause is atherosclerosis. The diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischemia requires a high clinical index of suspicion. An imaging study can confirm the presence of a stenosis or occlusion involving the mesenteric vessels in patients who are suspected of getting chronic mesenteric ischemia. The diagnosis is typically late in its course thanks to the slow progression of disease and therefore the abundance of mesenteric collaterals. due to the extensive collateral network, usually a minimum of two of the three visceral vessels got to be affected before patients develop symptoms. Treatment is important to avoid progression to bowel ischemia and infarction. Once a diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischemia is formed , treatment options include open surgical revascularization and endovascular revascularizat
