Symptomatic Mesenteric Atherosclerotic Disease—Lessons Learned from the Diagnostic Workup
Abstract
Objective This study aims to analyze the diagnostic workup in patients referred for endovascular mesenteric revascularization for symptomatic mesenteric atherosclerotic disease. Material and methods Fifty-five patients were identified between 2006 and 2011. Median follow-up time was 24 months. Results Median age was 71 years, 67 % were women. Forty patients had acute on chronic mesenteric ischemia, eight had acute mesenteric ischemia, and seven had chronic mesenteric ischemia. Other manifestations of atherosclerotic disease were present in 71 %. Body mass index (BMI) <20 kg/m(2) was found in 37 %. Endoscopy diagnosed duodenitis (38 %; 13/34) and colitis in the right colon (57 %;12/21). All ulcers tested for Helicobacter pylori were negative (n = 17). Patients received proton pump inhibitor, antibiotic, and cortisone therapy during diagnostic workup in 73, 42, and 29 % of the cases, respectively. Previous hospitalization for the same complaints had occurred in 78 %. CT angiography showed occlusion (n = 30) and high-grade stenosis (n = 25) of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Forty-eight patients were treated with stenting of the SMA. The BMI increased in both women (p = 0.001) and men (p = 0.03) after endovascular therapy. The in-hospital mortality rate was 18 %. Conclusion Patients with abdominal pain, known atherosclerotic disease, right-sided colitis or H. pylori-negative duodenitis should undergo CT angiography immediately to be able to identify symptomatic mesenteric atherosclerotic disease.

AMI may develop on chronic stenosis of the mesenteric arteries, in which case both the CA and SMA are affected by atherosclerotic disease; this condition is referred to as acute on chronic mesenteric ischaemia.
“Moreover, AMI may develop on chronic stenosis of the mesenteric arteries, in which case both the CA and SMA are affected by atherosclerotic disease. This condition is referred to as acute on chronic mesenteric ischaemia.”
A high proportion of patients with acute thrombotic SMA occlusion may have had long-standing pre-existing symptoms of chronic mesenteric ischaemia (CMI), including postprandial abdominal pain, fear of eating, diarrhoea, and weight loss.
“In retrospect, a high proportion of the often misunderstood and misdiagnosed patients with acute thrombotic SMA occlusion may have had long standing pre-existing symptoms of CMI, including postprandial abdominal pain (abdominal angina), fear of eating, diarrhoea, and weight loss. 109”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
