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 factors that can compromise the blood supply to the affected organ which 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. 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]
