Abstract
The clinical presentation and outcome of ischemic colitis have a wide spectrum. Impaired perfusion of blood to the bowel from a variety of causes is the underlying pathophysiology. The presence of diarrhea, abdominal pain, and mild lower gastrointestinal bleeding should prompt consideration of ischemic colitis as a cause. Although many laboratory tests and radiographic images may suggest the diagnosis, endoscopic visualization of the colonic mucosa with histologic analysis of biopsies is the gold standard for identification of colonic ischemia. Many cases are transient and resolve without any complications. Medical therapy for chronic ischemia has been anecdotally proven but not carefully studied. Complications of ischemic colitis can include bowel perforation, peritonitis, persistent bleeding, protein-losing colonpathy, and symptomatic intestinal strictures. Surgical resection of the affected segment should be considered early to minimize adverse outcomes. This review describes the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic approach, and management of ischemic colitis.

Abstract
Chronic mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening clinical problem resulting in death from inanition and/or bowel infarction, if left untreated, albeit low disease prevalence. Typical presentation is postprandial abdominal pain, severe weight loss, and altered bowel habit. Surgical revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery provides effective long-term treatment for chronic intestinal ischemia. Eleven patients underwent superior mesenteric artery revascularization, nine of them with open retrograde superior mesenteric artery bypass and two with angioplasty and stenting. All patients except one made a satisfactory recovery in this cohort. Major complication included one graft thrombosis leading to bowel ischemia and death. The rest all recovered weight in 3-6 months with a follow up period of 6 to 28 months. Two patients had recurrence of symptoms due to failing bypass requiring stenting for assisted primary patency. Superior mesenteric artery revascularization can be performed with minimal morbidity and mortality, providing excellent symptom relief and quality of life.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic vascular disease involving the mesenteric arteries occurs frequently in the elderly population. Although the prevalence of ischemic bowel disease is difficult to determine, acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) has been reported to cause in 1 in 1000 hospital admissions, whereas chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is estimated to affect 1 in 100,000 individuals. Mesenteric ischemia generally manifests in its chronic form as postprandial abdominal pain resulting in significant weight loss, and in its acute form as an abrupt development of abdominal pain, lower gastrointestinal bleeding, and subsequent intestinal necrosis. This article discusses the cause, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of AMI and CMI.

Mesenteric artery complications during angioplasty and stent placement for atherosclerotic chronic mesenteric ischemia. J Vasc Surg 2012; 55:1063-71. [PMID: 22322121 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2011.10.122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 66] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2011] [Revised: 10/25/2011] [Accepted: 10/27/2011] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe the incidence, management, and outcomes of mesenteric artery complications (MACs) during angioplasty and stent placement (MAS) for chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 156 patients treated with 173 MAS for CMI (1998-2010). MACs were defined as procedure-related mesenteric artery dissection, stent dislodgement, embolization, thrombosis, or perforation. End points were procedure-related morbidity and death. RESULTS There were 113 women and 43 men (mean age, 73 ± 14 years). Eleven patients (7%) developed 14 MACs, including distal mesenteric embolization in six, branch perforation in three, dissection in two, stent dislodgement in two, and stent thrombosis in one. Five patients required adjunctive endovascular procedures, including in two patients each, catheter-directed thrombolysis or aspiration, retrieval of dislodged stents, and placement of additional stents for dissection. Five patients (45%) required conversion to open repair: two required evacuation of mesenteric hematoma, two required mesenteric revascularization, and one required bowel resection. There were four early deaths (2.5%) due to mesenteric embolization or myocardial infarction in two patients each. Patients with MACs had higher rates of mortality (18% vs 1.5%) and morbidity (64% vs 19%; P <.05) and a longer hospital length of stay (6.3 ± 4.2 vs 1.6 ± 1.2 days) than those without MACs. Periprocedural use of antiplatelet therapy was associated with lower risk of distal embolization or vessel thrombosis (odds ratio, 0.2; 95% confidence interval, 0.06-0.90). Patients treated by a large-profile system had a trend toward more MACs (odds ratio, 1.8; 95% confidence interval, 0.7-26.5; P = .07). CONCLUSIONS MACs occurred in 7% of patients who underwent MAS for CMI and resulted in higher mortality, morbidity, and longer hospital length of stay. Use of antiplatelet therapy reduced the risk of distal embolization or vessel thrombosis. There was a trend toward more MACs in patients who underwent interventions performed with a large-profile system.

Abstract
Ischemic changes of the abdominal organs are crucial since they develop slowly and are therefore often diagnosed at a late stage. Due to this general aspect, mortality from this disease could not be significantly reduced over the last decade. One of the main causes of these high mortality rates is the insufficient integration of the overall clinical picture into the diagnostic work-up. Acute mesenteric ischemia should be differentiated from chronic visceral ischemia. Acute intestinal ischemia is a vascular emergency with a mortality rate of 60-80%. The incidence of chronic visceral vascular disorders accounts for approximately 1-2% of all abdominal conditions and has to be differentiated from the acute form, since intestinal ischemia has a progressive nature and usually is related to general atherosclerotic disease. Therefore, this condition is associated with an increase of arteriosclerotic-related multimorbidity in an increasingly elderly population. Due to excellent collateralization, extensive chronic occlusion processes affecting the visceral arteries can be asymptomatically treated on a long-term basis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To review 20 years of literature on chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI), examining its complex clinical presentation and comparing open and endovascular treatment options. METHODS The PubMed and EBSCOHost electronic databases were queried to identify English-language articles published over the last 20 years. Scrutiny of the retrieved articles identified 1939 patients (mean age 65 years). Of these, 1163 patients underwent open surgery: 714 between 2000 and 2009 and 449 between 1990 and 1999. Of the 776 patients undergoing endovascular repairs, the majority (684) were performed between 2000 and 2009; 92 patients were treated between 1990 and 1999. Data were entered in an electronic database and were pooled for categorical analysis. RESULTS No major differences were seen among open surgeries or among endovascular surgeries performed when comparing the 2 time periods. On comparing open and endovascular surgeries performed between 2000 and 2009, symptom improvement was 2.4 times more likely after open compared to endovascular surgery (95% CI 1.5 to 3.6, p<0.001). Five-year primary patency and 5-year assisted primary patency were 3.8 (95% CI 2.4 to 5.8, p<0.001) and 6.4 (95% CI 1.3 to 30.1, p = 0.02) times greater in the open group. Freedom from symptoms at 5 years was 4.4 times greater for open versus endovascular (95% CI 2.8 to 7.0, p<0.001). The complication rate for open versus endovascular surgery was 3.2 times greater (95% CI 2.5 to 4.2, p<0.001). The difference in mortality was not statistically significant (p = 0.75). CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate that open revascularization surpasses endovascular procedures in long-term vessel patency and control of symptoms. Patients undergoing open procedures do, however, develop increased complications perioperatively. The preferred revascularization approach used in treating this condition should be tailored to the anatomy and physiology of each patient.

Abstract
Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is most likely caused by atherosclerosis and less frequently by external compression and vasculitis. Symptomatic CMI is an uncommon, potentially under-diagnosed condition caused by fixed stenoses or occlusion of, in most conditions, at least two visceral arteries. If only one of the three major bowel-providing arteries — the celiac trunk, and the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries — is affected, the patient is usually asymptomatic due to a tight collateral network. The only exception is the celiac artery compression syndrome which represents primarily a compression syndrome of celiac plexus nerves by the arcuate ligament in conjunction with a compression of the celiac trunk. CMI of atherosclerotic origin is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. During the last decade, endovascular revascularization has replaced surgical revascularization as the therapy of choice in most centers. This article reviews the most relevant clinical aspects of the disease and the current practice of diagnosis and treatment of CMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of chronic splanchnic syndrome remains controversial. In the past 10 years, endovascular repair (ER) has replaced open repair (OR) to some extent. This evidence summary reviews the available evidence for ER or OR of chronic splanchnic syndrome. METHODS A systematic literature search of MEDLINE database was performed to identify all studies that evaluated treatment of chronic splanchnic syndrome between 1988 and 2009. RESULTS The best available evidence consists of prospectively accumulated but retrospectively analyzed data with a high risk for confounding. Only a few of these studies incorporated functional tests to assess splanchnic ischemia before or after treatment. ER has the advantage of low short-term morbidity but the disadvantage of decreased long-term primary patency compared with OR. ER and OR have similar rates of secondary patency, although the reintervention rate after ER is higher. CONCLUSION ER appears to be preferential in the treatment of elderly patients and in patients with comorbidity, severe cachexia, or hostile abdomen. Long-term results after OR are excellent. OR can still be proposed as the preferred option for relatively young and fit patients.

Abstract
Chronic mesenteric ischemia is an uncommon disease in vascular surgery practice worldwide. Open revascularization remains the best treatment for low-risk patients due to durability and efficacy. Endovascular revascularization for chronic mesenteric ischemia was primarily indicated for elderly and higher-risk patients, but this has changed over the past 10 years due to development of more precise devices and lower morbidity and mortality rates despite the higher recurrence and restenosis rates. Our purpose was to summarize the data on endovascular and open revascularization for chronic mesenteric ischemia in a schematic tabular presentation.

Splenic infarction complicating percutaneous transluminal coeliac artery stenting for chronic mesenteric ischaemia: a case report. J Med Case Rep 2008; 2:261.

Abstract
Introduction Chronic mesenteric ischaemia is an important cause of abdominal pain, especially in older patients with risk factors for vascular disease. Until recently, surgical revascularization procedures such as endarterectomy and aorto-coeliac or aorto-mesenteric bypass grafting were the only available treatment options for patients with chronic mesenteric ischaemia. Percutaneous angioplasty and stenting have recently been shown to be effective and safe alternatives to surgical revascularization in high-risk patients with chronic mesenteric ischaemia. Case Presentation We report an 84-year-old woman with symptoms of chronic mesenteric ischaemia, including post-prandial abdominal pain and weight loss. Investigations demonstrated calcific stenoses at the origins of the celiac, superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric arteries, along with nonocclusive calcification in the mid-splenic artery. Coeliac artery angioplasty and stenting was performed, resulting in excellent arterial dilatation at the stenotic point and distal filling of the coeliac and superior mesenteric arteries and their branches. Within hours of successful stenting of the coeliac artery, the patient developed severe left upper quadrant pain. Progress imaging demonstrated splenic infarction, likely as a result of calcific emboli dislodged from the calcified plaque at the origin of the celiac artery at the time of angioplasty and stenting. The left upper quadrant pain resolved after 8 days and the patient remains asymptomatic 2 years post-procedure. Conclusion This is the first reported case of splenic infarction complicating otherwise successful coeliac artery stenting, presumably as a consequence of distal embolization of disrupted calcific plaque. This complication, occurring on a background of non-occlusive splenic arterial calcification, represents a novel cause of abdominal pain post-procedure.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the immediate and midterm success of low-profile stent placement in calcified ulcerated lesions of the infrarenal aorta in patients with arterial occlusive disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective case series, 13 symptomatic patients (eight men, five women; mean age, 64.8 years +/- 12.1; age range, 44-84 years) with focal calcified ulcerated stenoses of the infrarenal aorta were treated with stent placement by using a low-profile technique in a radiology intervention center during a 4-year period. Clinical examinations and duplex ultrasonography were used to evaluate the stents? patency and clinical success. Kaplan-Meier graphs were calculated to analyze the freedom-of-symptom rate. RESULTS The initial technical success rate was 92% (12 of 13 patients). Due to extended calcifications, a residual stenosis of 50%-60% remained in one patient. No peri-interventional complications occurred. The mean follow-up was 26 months (range, 5-53 months). During follow-up, one patient had a restenosis after 7 months and presented clinically with Fontaine stage IIb. Two patients had iliac and/or femoral stenoses, and both presented with Fontaine stage IIb. One patient's symptoms originated from the lumbar spine. Primary patency and primary clinical success rates were 85% and 69%, respectively. According to Kaplan-Meier tables, the freedom-from-symptom rates were 92%, 84%, 73%, and 63% at 0, 7, 12, and 21 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Low-profile stent placement in calcified, ulcerated lesions of the infrarenal aorta is an effective and safe treatment for symptomatic stenoses in patients with arterial occlusive disease after a mean follow-up of 26 months.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stent placement is now an established treatment option for chronic mesenteric ischemia and is associated with low mortality and morbidity rates. We present a case of reperfusion hemorrhage complicating endovascular repair of superior mesenteric artery stenosis. Although a recognized complication following repair of carotid stenosis, hemorrhage has not previously been reported following mesenteric endovascular reperfusion. We describe both spontaneous cessation of bleeding and treatment with coil embolization.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare procedural outcome of rapid-exchange (RX) monorail versus conventional over-the-wire (OTW) technique for femoropopliteal angioplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS Demographic data, procedure details, angioplasty success, and complications of 328 consecutive percutaneous transluminal angioplasties (PTAs) were collected from a prospective database and retrospectively analyzed. Procedure details included duration of fluoroscopy, area-dose product, amount of contrast agent, sheath sizes, access route, length of stenosis, presence of total occlusion, technical and anatomical success (residual stenosis < 30% in the absence of complications), need for bail-out stenting, and periprocedural complications. The RX technique alone was used in 102 of 328 cases (31%); the OTW technique, in 226 of 328 of cases (68%). RESULTS Technical success was 98% for the RX versus 95.4% for the OTW technique (p = 0.2). A significantly greater number of stents had to be implanted due to angioplasty failure when the OTW technique was used (RX, 5.9%; OTW, 13.7%; p = 0.04). There were no significant differences in fluoroscopy time, dose-area product, or amount of contrast medium used. The RX system facilitated the use of smaller sheath sizes (5 Fr = 38% and 6 Fr = 59% for RX versus 5 Fr = 16.8% and > or = 6 Fr = 82.5% for OTW) but showed only a tendency toward lower overall complication rates (16.6% [17/102] in the RX group versus 19.9% [45/226] in the OTW group; p = 0.09). There was no effect on length of hospitalization. RX monorail systems were not associated with higher procedural costs when compared to conventional OTW technique. CONCLUSION We conclude that RX monorail systems seem to enhance the technical success of femoropopliteal angioplasty. Although smaller sheath sizes can be used due to the lower profile of the RX systems, there is only a tendency toward lower complication rates.

Abstract
This article focuses on stent placement in mesenteric arteries in patients with the rare diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischemia. We present a survey from the initial stage of recognition of this gastrointestinal disorder and its manifestations to treatment by stenting to avoid further ischemic episodes and bowel infarction and necrosis. The advantages of stent placement in splanchnic arteries are discussed in comparison to open surgical revascularization.
