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

Hemodialysis
  • Common risk factors in the development of mesenteric ischemia include:
  • Occlusive causes
  • Embolic causes:[2]
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • 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
  • Non-occlusive causes:[4]
  • Heart failure
  • Aortic insufficiency
  • Septic shock
  • Vasoconstrictive drugs(e.g. Digoxin, alpha-adrenergic agonists)
  • Cocaine abuse/ergot poisoning
  • Hemodialysis
