Insights

This study analyzed surgical and endovascular treatments for chronic abdominal ischemia in 139 patients. It evaluated outcomes and complications of reconstructive operations and angioplasty for visceral aortic branch occlusions.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Chronic abdominal ischemia results from significant visceral aortic branch occlusions.
  • This condition significantly impacts patient quality of life and requires effective treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the immediate and long-term outcomes of surgical and endovascular interventions for chronic abdominal ischemia.
  • To evaluate postoperative complications associated with these procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 139 patients diagnosed with chronic abdominal ischemia.
  • Diagnostic confirmation using aortography, computed tomoangiography, and duplex color angioscanning.
  • Evaluation of 49 reconstructive/conditionally reconstructive operations and 11 transcutaneous endovascular angioplasties.

Main Results:

  • Data on immediate and long-term results of surgical and endovascular treatments were analyzed.
  • Postoperative complications for both surgical and endovascular approaches were documented.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical and endovascular interventions are key treatment modalities for chronic abdominal ischemia.
  • Understanding outcomes and complications is crucial for optimizing patient management.
