[Clinical picture, diagnosis and surgical treatment of mesenteric vein thrombosis]
Insights
Mesenterial vein thrombosis affects men and women around age 51. Predisposing factors include heart disease and liver issues, requiring comprehensive treatment beyond surgery.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Gastroenterology
- Internal Medicine
Context:
- Mesenterial vein thrombosis (MVT) is a critical condition affecting blood flow in the digestive system.
- The study analyzes demographic data and predisposing factors in a cohort of 58 patients diagnosed with MVT.
Purpose:
- To identify risk factors and predisposing conditions for mesenterial vein thrombosis.
- To outline essential components of effective treatment strategies for MVT.
Summary:
- Thirty women and 28 men, with an average age of 51.2 years, were diagnosed with mesenterial vein thrombosis.
- Identified predisposing factors include ischemic heart disease, liver and spleen diseases, prior thrombotic events, and splenectomy.
- Effective treatment necessitates surgical intervention (intestinal resection) combined with metabolic and hepatic function correction.
Impact:
- Highlights key risk factors for MVT, aiding in early identification and prevention strategies.
- Emphasizes a multimodal treatment approach for improved patient outcomes in MVT cases.
- Provides valuable insights for clinicians managing patients with abdominal vascular emergencies.
Abstract:
Thrombosis of mesenterial veins was found to develop in 30 women and 28 men of the average age of 51 +/- 2.1 years. It was established that case history of ischemic heart disease, diseases of the liver, spleen, thrombotic lesions of vessels of different localization and splenectomy should be taken for conditions predisposing to the development of mesenterial vein thrombosis. Treatment of occlusive lesions of mesenterial veins must include not only resection of the infarction portions of the intestine, but also correction of protein-electrolytic disorders, nitrogenous and carbohydrate metabolism as well as liver function.
