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 can be caused by any factor that can compromise the blood supply to the affected organ; either by reducing the perfusion or by promoting the formation of thromboemboli. It can be broadly classified as occlusive and non-occlusive.
  • The most potent risk factor in the development of mesenteric ischemia is superior mesenteric artery occlusion.


Common Risk Factors

  • Common risk factors in the development of mesenteric ischemia include:
  • Occlusive causes
  • Embolic causes:[2]
  • cardiac arrhythmias
  • cardiac valvular diseases
  • infective endocarditis
  • recent myocardial infarction
  • ventricular aneurysm
  • aortic atherosclerosis
  • aortic aneurysm
  • Thrombotic causes:[3]
  • Advanced age
  • Low cardiac output states
  • Traumatic injury
  • Peripheral artery disease

Less Common Risk Factors

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