Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

411
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

229
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

890
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Summary

A rare case of adult intussusception caused by apixaban (Eliquis), a direct oral anticoagulant, was reported. The condition, leading to small bowel obstruction, was successfully treated with surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pharmacology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Direct acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) like apixaban are widely used for thromboembolic conditions.
  • While generally safe, DOACs carry risks including bleeding and hematoma formation.
  • Adult intussusception is a rare condition, often associated with underlying pathology.

Observation:

  • A 73-year-old woman on apixaban for atrial fibrillation presented with small bowel obstruction.
  • Imaging revealed small bowel intussusception.
  • Surgical exploration identified an intramural hematoma as the cause.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed an intramural hematoma causing the intussusception.
  • This represents a rare complication of apixaban therapy.
  • No prior literature documented apixaban-induced intussusception.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a potential, albeit rare, gastrointestinal complication of apixaban.
  • Clinicians should consider DOAC-induced hematoma in the differential diagnosis of adult intussusception.
  • Further research may be warranted to understand the incidence and risk factors for this specific complication.
