History •Described by Beniviene in 1509. •Cokkinis stated in 1921 that “occlusion of the mesenteric vessels is regarded as one of those conditions of which the diagnosis is impossible, the prognosis hopeless, and the treatment almost useless”. •Overall mortality has not improved much despite more aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic measures.
Pathophysiology •Acute ischemia can cause: • diffuse abdominal pain, and often fail to note abdominal distention. • vasospasm, which causes gut emptying or profuse vomiting and diarrhea. • mucosal sloughing occurs and concomitant GI bleeding. •Normal patients exhibit postprandial hyperemia on angiography. Some patients with mesenteric ischemia lose this hyperemia, but returns following restoration of blood flow.
