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.

Objectives We evaluated the necessity of revascularization for acute mesenteric ischemia in symptomatic patients with spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery. Methods This retrospective study included 28 consecutive, symptomatic patients with spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery treated at our hospital between December 2005 and December 2017. Patients with concomitant aortic dissection were excluded. We reviewed the patients’ clinical presentation; laboratory evaluations; computed tomography findings, including the true lumen residual ratio (i.e., the minimum true lumen size compared to the diameter of the transverse section of the dissected artery) at the time of admission; the number of patients who were suspected of having bowel ischemia; and the number of patients who required surgical or endovascular treatment and their outcomes. Additionally, to evaluate the true lumen residual ratio in symptomatic patients with bowel ischemia, the true lumen residual ratio in those with abnormal laboratory data were compared with that in those without abnormal laboratory data. Initial true lumen residual ratio values were also compared with final values. Furthermore, we assessed the clinical details of patients who had bowel necrosis. Categorical variables were compared using the χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test, and continuous values were presented as either the mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range 25–75%). Variables were analyzed using Student’s t-test or the Mann–Whitney U test. Results The patients’ age ranged between 41 and 85 years, and 25 were men. Although nine patients were suspected of having acute mesenteric ischemia, only one underwent bowel resection. None of the patients had an indication for revascularization. The true lumen residual ratio of the nine patients with abnormal laboratory data were significantly lower than those of the 19 without abnormal laboratory data (10 [0–25]% vs. 40 [20–50]%, p = 0.005). The patient who underwent bowel resection had a true lumen residual ratio of 10%; however, there was no obvious abnormal laboratory data suggestive of bowel necrosis. Dissections were managed conservatively in all patients. True lumen residual ratio increased from initial value of 30 (10–48)% to 98 (60-100)%at the final imaging study ( p < 0.0001). There were no adverse events related to the mesenteric circulation during the follow-up period of 2–11 years. Conclusions Reintervention is rarely required for spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery, even in symptomatic patients, and spontaneous resolution of the luminal compromise is the rule.

A 50-year-old man had a mesenteric ischemia related to superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion associated with a type B aortic dissection. We decided to perform stent placement for the SMA and could avoid mesenteric ischemia. We think the stent placement in the SMA might be an option for the treatment of mesenteric ischemia caused by aortic dissection.

Bowel Gangrene

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) occuring due to sudden, partial or complete interruption of blood ow in main visceral arteries of the abdomen eventually resulting in intestinal ischemia and/or bowel gangrene is a surgical emergency. It represents 0.1% of hospital admissions and 2% of the revascularization operations for atheromatous lesions. 50% of AMI is caused by embolic phenomenon, 25% by thrombotic episode and rest 25% by both. The most common vessel involved in AMI is superior mesenteric artery. Acute mesenteric embolic ischemia (AMEI) arises typically from a cardiac emboli in patients with atrial brillation or following MI. Patients usually presents with central abdominal pain, out of proportion to the physical ndings initially, later becoming diffuse associated with bloody diarrhoea during the episode. An early diagnosis, an aggressive resuscitation, intravascular or surgical restoration of blood ow and subsequent bowel resection based on bowel viability helps reduce morbidity and mortality.
