Abstract Purpose To evaluate the technical success of percutaneous retrograde revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) via the celiac artery (CA) in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). Methods We performed a retrospective review of three patients with chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the origin of SMA which were recanalized retrograde via collaterals of the CA after frustrating attempt of antegrade revascularization from the abdominal aorta in our institute between May 2019 and June 2020. Results All technical procedures of retrograde revascularization of CTOs of SMA via collaterals of the CA were successful. The clinical outcome resulted in a sustained resolution of abdominal pain in all cases. Conclusion Retrograde recanalization of SMA via collaterals from the CA seems to be a successful endovascular option for patients with CMI and a chronically occluded superior mesenteric artery when antegrade recanalization fails as far as it can be concluded from the small number of presented cases.

Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia

Abstract Objective A practical screening tool for chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) could facilitate early recognition and reduce undertreatment and diagnostic delay. This study explored the ability to discriminate CMI from non-CMI patients with a mesenteric artery calcium score (MACS). Methods This retrospective study included CTAs of consecutive patients with suspected CMI in a tertiary referral center between April 2016 and October 2019. A custom-built software module, using the Agatston definition, was developed and used to calculate the MACS for the celiac artery (CA), superior mesenteric artery (SMA), and inferior mesenteric artery. Scoring was performed by two blinded observers. Interobserver agreement was determined using 39 CTAs scored independently by both observers. CMI was defined as sustained symptom improvement after treatment. Non-CMI patients were patients not diagnosed with CMI after a diagnostic workup and patients not responding to treatment. Results The MACS was obtained in 184 patients, 49 CMI and 135 non-CMI. Interobserver agreement was excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.910). The MACS of all mesenteric arteries was significantly higher in CMI patients than in non-CMI patients. ROC analysis of the combined MACS of CA + SMA showed an acceptable AUC (0.767), high sensitivity (87.8%), and high NPV (92.1%), when using a ≥ 29.7 CA + SMA MACS cutoff. Comparison of two CTAs, obtained in the same patient at different points in time with different scan and reconstruction parameters, was performed in 29 patients and revealed significant differences in MACSs. Conclusion MACS seems a promising screening method for CMI, but correction for scan and reconstruction parameters is warranted. Key Points • A mesenteric artery calcium score obtained in celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery has a high negative predictive value for chronic mesenteric ischemia and could serve as a screening tool. • Interobserver agreement of the mesenteric artery calcium score is excellent. • Scan and reconstruction parameters influence the mesenteric artery calcium score and warrant the development of a method to correct for these parameters.

Stent Deployment

Acute mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening vascular emergency associated with a very high mortality rate. In the setting of necrotic bowel, the current standard of care requires a laparotomy with bowel resection and surgical or endovascular revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery. Unfortunately, mesenteric bypass confers high perioperative mortality, in some reports up to 45%. A hybrid technique that employs an exploratory laparotomy, catheterization of the distal superior mesenteric artery, and stent deployment across the atherosclerotic lesion was first described in 2004 for the treatment of acute-on-chronic mesenteric ischemia. This chapter describes the appropriate clinical indications, the technical aspects of performing this hybrid procedure, as well as the challenges and common pitfalls encountered.
