Abstract

Complete revascularization for chronic intestinal ischemia is controversial. Fifty-eight patients (119 arteries) underwent mesenteric revascularization between 1981 and 1988. There were 46 women and 12 men (mean age: 63 years). Sixty percent of patients had three-vessel disease. Twenty-one patients underwent concomitant aortic reconstruction. Operative mortality was 10%. Four of the six deaths occurred in patients undergoing aortic surgery. Late graft failure occurred in five patients (10%). Five-year survival for patients with three-vessel involvement who underwent three-vessel repair was 73%, compared with 57% for two-vessel repair and 0% for one-vessel repair (p = NS). Similarly, graft patency in patients with three-vessel disease was highest in those patients who had complete revascularization (90%, 54%, and 0%, respectively) (p = NS). We conclude that increased graft patency and survival in patients with three-vessel disease was most frequent with complete revascularization. Diseased inferior mesenteric arteries should be repaired if feasible. Concomitant aortic operations should be avoided if possible.

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.
