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]
