Abstract:
This article provides an overview of acute mesenteric ischemia, chronic mesenteric ischemia, and visceral aneurysms, with a focus on treatment. Acute mesenteric ischemia can be a challenging diagnosis. Early recognition and adequate revascularization are key to patient outcomes. Chronic mesenteric ischemia is a more insidious process, typically caused by atherosclerosis. Various options for revascularization exist, which must be tailored to each patient. Visceral aneurysms are rare and the natural history is not well defined. However, given the risk of rupture and high mortality, treatment may be complex.
