Effective surgical treatment for chronic mesenteric arterial occlusive disease requires "typical" symptoms and 2-3 vessel involvement. Bypass grafting is preferred, but optimal reconstruction extent is still under investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Chronic mesenteric arterial occlusive lesions present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
  • Surgical approaches have evolved significantly over time.
  • Early treatment involved varied procedures for diverse symptoms and vessel involvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the evolution of surgical treatment for chronic mesenteric arterial occlusive lesions.
  • To identify key criteria for effective surgical intervention.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of different surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 45 patients treated between 1964 and 1986.
  • Comparison of surgical strategies before and after 1976.

  • Correlation of symptoms, number of affected mesenteric vessels, and surgical outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Since 1976, patient selection focused on "typical" symptoms (postprandial epigastric pain, fear of eating, weight loss) and 2-3 vessel disease.
    • Isolated celiac artery compression rarely presented typical symptoms (23%), unlike multi-vessel disease (61%).
    • Satisfactory pain relief was achieved in 75% of patients with 2-3 vessel disease.

    Conclusions:

    • "Typical" symptoms and 2-3 mesenteric vessel disease are crucial for successful surgical outcomes.
    • Bypass grafting is the preferred surgical technique.
    • The precise extent of arterial reconstruction needed for symptom relief requires further definition.
