Acute mesenteric ischaemia on unenhanced computer-tomography.
We present a 39-year old man with mesenteric ischaemia. The initial unenhanced images of the, non-oral contrast CT abdomen clearly demonstrated increased density in a significant length of the small bowel and in the veins of the adjacent mesentery. Mesenteric ischaemia is a difficult diagnosis both clinically and radiologically and we demonstrate the potential benefits of an unenhanced abdomina...
متن کاملAcute mesenteric ischaemia.
The experience of acute mesenteric ischaemia at St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, has been reviewed over 17 years. The mortality remains appallingly high. This applies particularly to those patients who had thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery, amongst whom the mortality in this series was 97%. The mortality was slightly less in the group suffering from embolic occlusion of the superior...

Acute mesenteric ischaemia is a surgical emergency, with significant associated morbidity and mortality. Because the clinical presentation of mesenteric ischaemia is variable and often nonspecific, a high index of clinical and radiologic suspic...
متن کاملMesenteric revascularisation for acute-on-chronic intestinal ischaemia.
Eleven patients (eight women) underwent urgent revascularisation for acute-on-chronic mesenteric ischaemia. Four patients had dual vessel and seven single vessel reconstructions. Two patients underwent simultaneous bowel resection and one patient has had three separate grafts to the superior mesenteric artery. There were two peri-operative deaths and three have died in the late follow-up period...
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of Acute on Chronic Mesenteric Ischaemia by Common Iliac to Inferior Mesenteric Artery Bypass
Chronic mesenteric ischaemia is a rare and potentially fatal condition most commonly due to atherosclerotic stenosis or occlusion of two or more mesenteric arteries. Multivessel revascularisation of both primary mesenteric vessels, the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery (SMA), is the current mainstay of treatment; however, in a certain cohort of patients, revascularisation one or both...
