    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Abdominal Medicine

    Background:

    • Primary mesenteric venous thrombosis (PMVT) is a rare condition affecting the veins of the mesentery.
    • Understanding its characteristics, management, and outcomes is essential for clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical features, management strategies, and outcomes of patients diagnosed with primary mesenteric venous thrombosis.
    • To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for favorable prognosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of medical records from nine patients diagnosed with primary mesenteric venous thrombosis.
    • Review of clinical presentations, physical findings, laboratory results, imaging, surgical findings, and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Common symptoms included abdominal pain, vomiting, fever, and hematochezia, with physical findings of tenderness, distention, and diminished bowel sounds.
    • Laboratory tests showed leukocytosis and hemoconcentration; radiography suggested intestinal obstruction in most cases.
    • All patients presented with infarcted small intestine and mesenteric venous thrombosis, with patent mesenteric arteries; two patients died postoperatively without anticoagulant therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are critical for managing primary mesenteric venous thrombosis.
    • Intravenous heparin administration immediately after diagnosis is recommended to prevent recurrent thrombosis and improve outcomes.
    • Increased clinical awareness and timely management can lead to a favorable prognosis for mesenteric venous thrombosis.
