Diagnosing acute intestinal ischemia in elderly patients is challenging due to late detection and non-specific tests. Early surgical intervention is crucial for better outcomes in this critical condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Geriatric Medicine

Background:

  • Acute intestinal ischemia (AII) frequently affects elderly patients, often with comorbidities that worsen prognosis.
  • Delayed diagnosis is common, as laboratory and imaging findings are typically non-pathognomonic for AII.
  • A careful medical history (anamnesis) is essential for suspecting AII.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges of acute intestinal ischemia.
  • To present the outcomes of surgical intervention in a series of AII cases.
  • To emphasize the benefits of early and aggressive surgical management for AII.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis of 12 patients diagnosed with acute intestinal ischemia.
  • Review of clinical data, diagnostic workup, and surgical interventions.

  • Evaluation of patient outcomes based on timing of surgery and treatment approach.

    • Main Results:

    • The study identified significant difficulties in the early diagnosis of acute intestinal ischemia.
    • Surgical intervention was the primary treatment modality for all cases.
    • Early surgical intervention was associated with improved patient outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Acute intestinal ischemia presents diagnostic challenges, particularly in the elderly population.
    • Aggressive surgical strategies are advantageous for managing acute intestinal ischemia.
    • Timely surgical intervention is critical for improving prognosis in patients with AII.
