Acute mesenteric ischemia

Berland, Todd, Oldenburg, W. Andrew·2008·Current Gastroenterology Reports

Abstract

Acute mesenteric ischemia is caused by a critical reduction in intestinal blood flow that frequently results in bowel necrosis and is associated with a high mortality. Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion because a prompt diagnosis and early aggressive treatment before the onset of bowel infarction results in reduced mortality. Medical management includes aggressive rehydration and the use of antibiotics, anticoagulation, vasodilators, and inhibitors of reperfusion injury. If acute mesenteric ischemia is suspected, early angiography is imperative, as it permits accurate diagnosis and possible therapeutic intervention. Therapeutic options during angiography depend on the cause of ischemia and include administering intra-arterial vasodilators and/or thrombolytic agents and angioplasty with or without stent placement. If interventional techniques are not possible or if the patient presents with suspicion of bowel infarction, surgery is warranted. Surgical techniques include superior mesenteric artery embolectomy or visceral artery bypass, which should be used before bowel resection to ensure only resection of nonviable bowel.

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.
