Overview

Mesenteric ischemia is a type of intestinal ischemia primarily affecting the small intestine. It is one of the life-threatening gastrointestinal vascular emergencies which requires prompt surgical/medical intervention depending upon the underlying cause.

Common causes in the development of mesenteric ischemia can be divided into occlusive/non-occlusive, arterial/venous, localized/generalized and superficial/transmural.[1]

Risk Factors

  • Mesenteric ischemia is a complication of certain set of diseases which can be classified as

OR

  • The most potent risk factor in the development of [disease name] is [risk factor 1]. Other risk factors include [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].
  • Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include [risk factor 1], [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].

Common Risk Factors

  • Common risk factors in the development of mesenteric ischemia may be occlusive, non-occlusive.
  • Common risk factors in the development of mesenteric ischemia include:[2]
    • Atrial fibrillation
    • Congestive heart failure
    • Myocardial infarction
    • Aortic insufficiency
    • Renal diseases

Less Common Risk Factors

  • Less common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include:
    • [Risk factor 1]
    • [Risk factor 2]
    • [Risk factor 3]
