Abstract

Objective Arterial acute mesenteric ischemia (AAMI) is a vascular and gastroenterologic emergency, most often surgical, still associated with a poor prognosis and frequent short bowel syndrome in survivors. We report the results of revascularization in AAMI patients after the creation of an intestinal stroke center.Methods Since July 2009, we developed a multimodal and multidisciplinary management for AMI, focusing on intestinal viability and involving gastroenterologists, vascular and abdominal surgeons, radiologists, and intensive care specialists. This management was the first step to the creation of an intestinal stroke center, based on the stroke unit model. All patients received: (1) a specific medical protocol; (2) endovascular and/or open surgical revascularization whenever possible; and/or (3) resection of non-viable small bowel. We aimed to study survival, morbidity, type of revascularization, and bowel resection in patients who benefited from arterial revascularization in our intestinal stroke center.Results Eighty-three patients with AMI were prospectively enrolled in the intestinal stroke center. Among them, 29 patients with AAMI underwent revascularization. The mean age was 50.2 ± 12 years, with 41% of male gender. The mean follow-up was 22.7 ± 19 months. Overall 2-year survival was 89.2%, and 30-day operative mortality was 6.9%. Surgical revascularization included bypass grafting (65%), endarterectomy with patch angioplasty (21%) ± retrograde open mesenteric stenting of the superior mesenteric artery (7%), and endovascular revascularization as first stage procedure (38%). The 2-year primary patency rate of open revascularization was 88%. The rate and the median length of bowel resected were 24% and 43 cm (range, 36-49 cm), respectively.Conclusions In our experience, revascularization of AAMI patients as part of a multidisciplinary and multimodal management leads to encouraging results. Vascular surgeons have a central role in a dedicated intestinal stroke center.

  • Heterogeneous clinical manifestations and pathophysiological mechanisms of different subtypes of AMI usually result in multiple specialties being involved in the primary diagnosis and management of AMI.

    “Heterogeneous clinical manifestations and pathophysiological mechanisms of different subtypes of AMI (occlusive arterial or venous, non-occlusive) usually result in multiple specialties being involved in the primary diagnosis and management of AMI [3–7], and key similarities and differences between subtypes of AMI are incompletely studied.”
  • Data from the past decade suggest that some improvement in acute mesenteric ischaemia outcomes may have taken place as a result of a multidisciplinary approach and developments in many medical fields.

    “Data from the past decade suggest that some improvement may have taken place as a result of a multidisciplinary approach and developments in many medical fields (eg, better diagnostics, endovascular procedures, management of short bowel syndrome, home parenteral nutrition).6–8”
  • Progress in management of specific forms of acute mesenteric ischaemia has been achieved, concerning mainly endovascular and hybrid therapy of occlusive arterial acute mesenteric ischaemia.

  • Recent published evidence suggests that treatment of occlusive AMI in "intestine stroke centers" using a multidisciplinary approach improves outcomes.

    “Recent published evidence suggests that treatment of occlusive AMI in “intestine stroke centers” using a multidisciplinary approach improves outcomes [142, 143].”
  • Preliminary evidence suggests that treatment of AMI in especially dedicated centers using a multidisciplinary approach improves outcomes.

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.
