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:
     *Occluisive causes:
         *Embolic causes
          *Caridac diseases: 
               *cardiac arrhythmias 
               ***cardiac valvular diseases
               ***infective endocarditis 
               ***recent myocardial infarction
               ***ventricular aneurysm
               ***aortic atherosclerosis  
               ***aortic aneurysm
          **Thrombotic causes:[2]                
               ***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]
