Reconstructive surgery for chronic mesenteric ischemia, involving the celiac trunk (CT) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA), can relieve symptoms even in advanced cases. Repeat surgeries may help patients with recurrent obstruction achieve symptom relief.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a condition characterized by insufficient blood flow to the intestines.
  • Symptoms include weight loss and postprandial pain, often with a significant delay in diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of surgical revascularization for chronic mesenteric ischemia.
  • To assess the effectiveness of different surgical techniques in managing CMI.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 34 patients with CMI who underwent surgical intervention between 1979 and 1992.
  • Surgical procedures included autologous vein grafting and transaortic endarterectomy targeting the celiac trunk (CT) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA).

Main Results:

  • One perioperative death occurred.
  • 20 patients (59%) became symptom-free, with symptom duration ranging from 1 to 126 months post-operation.
  • Seven patients experienced symptom recurrence, while five had residual, albeit improved, symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical revascularization is effective in achieving symptom freedom for advanced chronic mesenteric ischemia.
  • Persistent or recurrent symptoms may occur, necessitating further investigation and potential repeat surgical intervention.
