Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Ischaemic Disease Management

Background:

  • Acute-on-chronic mesenteric ischaemia presents a critical challenge with limited treatment options.
  • Mesenteric ischaemia often leads to severe complications and high mortality rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of urgent revascularisation in patients with acute-on-chronic mesenteric ischaemia.
  • To assess the survival benefit and technical success of surgical intervention for mesenteric ischaemia.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of eleven patients undergoing urgent revascularisation for acute-on-chronic mesenteric ischaemia.
  • Surgical procedures included single or dual vessel reconstructions and simultaneous bowel resection in some cases.

  • Graft procedures to the superior mesenteric artery were performed.

    • Main Results:

    • Eleven patients (eight women) underwent revascularisation.
    • Two peri-operative deaths occurred; three late deaths were recorded at 18, 24, and 36 months.
    • The remaining patients survived between 5 and 63 months post-intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • Urgent revascularisation is technically achievable for acute-on-chronic mesenteric ischaemia.
    • The procedure offers substantial benefits, improving survival for patients with otherwise terminal conditions.
    • Surgical revascularisation represents a viable treatment option for mesenteric ischaemia.
