Exploring D-Lactate as a Biomarker for Acute Intestinal Necrosis in 2958 Patients: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study. J Emerg Med 2024; 66:e619-e631. [PMID: 38556374 DOI: 10.1016/j.jemermed.2024.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Timely diagnosis of acute intestinal necrosis (AIN) is lifesaving, but challenging due to unclear clinical presentation. D-lactate has been proposed as an AIN biomarker. OBJECTIVES We aimed to test the diagnostic performance in a clinical setting. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional prospective study, including all adult patients with acute referral to a single tertiary gastrointestinal surgical department during 2015-2016 and supplemented by enrollment of high-risk in-hospital patients suspected of having AIN during 2016-2019. AIN was verified intraoperatively, and D-lactate was analyzed using an automatic spectrophotometric set-up. A D-lactate cut-off for AIN was estimated using the receiver operating characteristic curve. The performance according to patient subgroups was estimated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Given the exploratory nature of this study, a formal power calculation was not feasible. RESULTS Forty-four AIN patients and 2914 controls were enrolled. The D-lactate cut-off was found to be 0.0925 mM. Due to lipemic interference, D-lactate could not be quantified in half of the patients, leaving 23 AIN patients and 1456 controls for analysis. The AUC for the diagnosis of AIN by D-lactate was 0.588 (95% confidence interval 0.475-0.712), with a sensitivity of 0.261 and specificity of 0.892. Analysis of high-risk patients showed similar results (AUC 0.579; 95% confidence interval 0.422-0.736). CONCLUSION D-lactate showed low sensitivity for AIN in both average-risk and high-risk patients. Moreover, lipemic interference precluded valid spectrophotometric assessment of D-lactate in half of the patients, further disqualifying the clinical utility of D-lactate as a diagnostic marker for AIN.

Abstract
Objectives: Assess the prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of vascular intestinal disorders (VID) from 1990 to 2019. Methods: This study conducted a secondary data analysis utilizing the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2019. The prevalence, mortality and DALYs of VID were analyzed by sex, age and socio-demographic index (SDI), respectively. Analyses were performed by using R software. Results: Globally, the number of prevalent VID cases increased from 100,158 (95% uncertainty interval: 89,428-114,013) in 1,990-175,740 (157,941-198,969) in 2019. However, the age-standardized rates (ASR) of VID prevalence declined from 2.47 (95% uncertainty interval: 2.24-2.76) per 100,000 population to 2.21 (1.98-2.48) per 100,000 population between 1990 and 2019. Furthermore, the ASR of mortality also decreased from 1990 to 2019. Between 1990 and 2019, the regions with high and high-middle level exhibited the highest diseases burden. Conclusion: Globally, the diseases burden associated with VID demonstrated a decline from 1990 to 2019. However, concerted efforts are still required to enhance measures to combat VID within countries categorized as high and high-middle SDI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute intestinal necrosis (AIN) is a disease with devastating high mortality. AIN due to obstructed arterial blood flow has a blurred clinical presentation. Timely diagnosis is paramount, and a blood-based biomarker is warranted to increase patient survival. We aimed to assess intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) and endothelin-1 as diagnostic biomarkers for AIN. To our knowledge, this is the first study exploring endothelin-1 in AIN patients from a general surgical population. DESIGN We conducted a single-centre nested case-control study comparing acutely admitted AIN patients to age- and sex-matched non-AIN patients during 2015-2016. I-FABP and endothelin-1 were analysed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. L-lactate levels were also measured in all patients. Cut-offs were estimated using receiver operator characteristic curves, and the diagnostic performance was estimated using the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS We identified 43 AIN patients and included 225 matched control patients. Median levels of I-FABP, endothelin-1 and L-lactate were 3550 (IQR: 1746-9235) pg/ml, 3.91 (IQR: 3.33-5.19) pg/ml and 0.92 (IQR: 0.74-1.45) mM in AIN patients and 1731 (IQR: 1124-2848) pg/ml, 2.94 (IQR: 2.32-3.82) pg/ml and 0.85 (IQR: 0.64-1.21) mM in control patients, respectively. The diagnostic performances of endothelin-1 and of I-FABP + endothelin-1 combined were moderate. Endothelin-1 alone revealed an AUC of 0.74 (0.67; 0.82). The sensitivity and specificity of endothelin-1 were 0.81 and 0.64, respectively. CONCLUSION I-FABP and endothelin-1 are promising biomarkers for AIN, with moderate diagnostic performance compared with the commonly used biomarker L-lactate. PREREGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05665946.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is a condition with high mortality. This survey assesses current attitudes and practices to manage AMI worldwide. METHODS A questionnaire survey about the practices of diagnosing and managing AMI, endorsed by several specialist societies, was sent to different medical specialists and hospitals worldwide. Data from individual health care professionals and from medical teams were collected. RESULTS We collected 493 individual forms from 71 countries and 94 team forms from 34 countries. Almost half of respondents were surgeons, and most of the responding teams (70%) were led by surgeons. Most of the respondents indicated that diagnosis of AMI is often delayed but rarely missed. Emergency revascularisation is often considered for patients with AMI but rarely in cases of transmural ischaemia (intestinal infarction). Responses from team hospitals with a dedicated special unit (14 team forms) indicated more aggressive revascularisation. Abdominopelvic CT-scan with intravenous contrast was suggested as the most useful diagnostic test, indicated by approximately 90% of respondents. Medical history and risk factors were thought to be more important in diagnosis of AMI without transmural ischaemia, whereas for intestinal infarction, plasma lactate concentrations and surgical exploration were considered more useful. In elderly patients, a palliative approach is often chosen over extensive bowel resection. There was a large variability in anticoagulant treatment, as well as in timing of surgery to restore bowel continuity. CONCLUSIONS Delayed diagnosis of AMI is common despite wide availability of an adequate imaging modality, i.e. CT-scan. Large variability in treatment approaches exists, indicating the need for updated guidelines. Increased awareness and knowledge of AMI may improve current practice until more robust evidence becomes available. Adherence to the existing guidelines may help in improving differences in treatment and outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a life-threatening surgical emergency with a poor prognosis. This study assessed the association of diffuse reduction of spleen density (DROSD) with postoperative complications and identified risk factors for adverse outcomes in AMI patients after surgery. METHODS Patients who were diagnosed with AMI and underwent surgical operations between April 2006 and July 2021 were enrolled. Spleen density was assessed using preoperative non-enhanced computed tomography. The lowest quartile of spleen density in all patients was regarded as the cutoff value for DROSD. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the risk factors related to postoperative outcomes after surgery. RESULTS According to the diagnostic cutoff, patients with a spleen density ≤49.07 HU were defined as DROSD. In a cohort of 97 patients, 34.0% developed complications within 30 days of surgery. The multivariate analysis illustrated that DROSD was an independent risk factor for prognostic outcomes in AMI patients after surgery. CONCLUSION Patients with low spleen density were prone to postoperative complications. As an imaging method, preoperative assessment of spleen density is a novel predictor that can be used clinically to identify high-risk AMI patients with poor prognosis.

Abstract
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a vascular emergency resulting from decreased blood flow caused by the occlusion of the mesenteric vessels, hypoperfusion, or vasospasm. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the fibrinogen-to-albumin (FAR) ratio in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia. A total of 91 patients were enrolled in the study. Patients' demographics such as age and gender, pre- and postoperative hemoglobin, CRP, white blood cell (WBC), neutrophils, preoperative lymphocyte, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), thrombocytes, and postoperative D-dimer values were recorded. In addition, pre- and postoperative fibrinogen and albumin levels were recorded, and FAR was calculated. Patients were divided into two groups, survivors and non-survivors. The mean pre- and postoperative fibrinogen levels were statistically significantly higher in the non-survivor group than in the survivor group (p < 0.001). The mean pre- and postoperative albumin levels were significantly lower in the non-survivors than in the survivors (p = 0.059, p < 0.001; respectively). The mean pre- and postoperative FAR ratios were considerably higher in the non-survivor than in the survivor groups (p < 0.001). The change between pre- and postoperative fibrinogen, albumin, and FAR values was statistically significant between the non-survivors and the survivors (for all, p < 0.05). The preoperative and postoperative fibrinogen levels were significantly lower, and albumin levels were significantly higher in the survivor compared to the non-survivor patients with AMI. Furthermore, the preoperative and postoperative FAR ratio was significantly higher in the non-survivors. The FAR ratio may be a valuable prognostic biomarker for patients with AMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of population-based studies on acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI). We have therefore performed a nationwide epidemiological study in Estonia, addressing incidence, demographics, interventions and mortality of AMI. METHODS A retrospective population-based review was conducted of all adult cases of AMI accrued from the digital Estonian Health Insurance Fund and Causes of Death Registry for 2016-2020 based on international classification of diseases (ICD-10) diagnostic codes and procedure codes (NOMESCO). RESULTS Overall, 577 cases of AMI were identified-an annual incidence of 8.7 per 100,000. The median age was 79 (range 32-104) and 57% were female. Predominating comorbidities included hypertensive disease (81%), atherosclerosis (67%), and atrial fibrillation (52%). The majority of cases (60%) were caused by superior mesenteric artery occlusion (thrombosis 54%, embolism 12%, and unclear 34%). Inferior mesenteric artery occlusion occurred in 7%, non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia in 7%, venous thrombosis in 4%, whereas the type remained unclear in 21% of cases. 40% of patients received intervention (revascularization and/or intestinal resection) and 13% active non-operative treatment. In 21% an exploratory laparotomy or laparoscopy revealed unsalvageable bowel prompting end-of-life care, which was the only management in a further 25% of cases. CONCLUSIONS The population-based annual incidence of AMI in Estonia was 8.7 per 100,000 during the study period. The overall hospital mortality and 1 year mortality were 64% and 74%, respectively. In the 53% of patients who received active treatment hospital mortality was 32% and 1 year all-cause mortality was 51%. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT04867499.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the recent evidence on acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI). RECENT FINDINGS The overall incidence of AMI is below 10/100 000 person years but increases exponentially with age. The overall mortality of AMI remains high, exceeding 50%, despite continuing progress and increasing availability of imaging and endovascular interventions. However, patients with (early) revascularization have significantly better outcomes. The majority of patients surviving the acute event are still alive at 1 year, but evidence on quality of life is scarce.Clinical suspicion of AMI is the key to timely diagnosis, with biphasic computed tomography-angiography the diagnostic method of choice. Currently, no biomarker has sufficient specificity to diagnose AMI. SUMMARY Improved awareness and knowledge of AMI are needed to raise the suspicion of AMI in relevant patients and thereby to achieve better outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the incidence of acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI), proportions of its different forms and short-term and long-term mortality. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE (Ovid), Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library were searched until 26 July 2022. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Studies reporting data on the incidence and outcomes of AMI in adult populations. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Data extraction and quality assessment with modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale were performed using predeveloped standard forms. The outcomes were the incidence of AMI and its different forms in the general population and in patients admitted to hospital, and the mortality of AMI in its different forms. RESULTS From 3064 records, 335 full texts were reviewed and 163 included in the quantitative analysis. The mean incidence of AMI was 6.2 (95% CI 1.9 to 12.9) per 100 000 person years. On average 5.0 (95% CI 3.3 to 7.1) of 10 000 hospital admissions were due to AMI. Occlusive arterial AMI was the most common form constituting 68.6% (95% CI 63.7 to 73.2) of all AMI cases, with similar proportions of embolism and thrombosis.Overall short-term mortality (in-hospital or within 30 days) of AMI was 59.6% (95% CI 55.5 to 63.6), being 68.7% (95% CI 60.8 to 74.9) in patients treated before the year 2000 and 55.0% (95% CI 45.5 to 64.1) in patients treated from 2000 onwards (p<0.05). The mid/long-term mortality of AMI was 68.2% (95% CI 60.7 to 74.9). Mortality due to mesenteric venous thrombosis was 24.6% (95% CI 17.0 to 32.9) and of non-occlusive mesenteric ischaemia 58.4% (95% CI 48.6 to 67.7). The short-term mortality of revascularised occlusive arterial AMI was 33.9% (95% CI 30.7 to 37.4). CONCLUSIONS In adult patients, AMI is a rarely diagnosed condition with high mortality, although with improvement of treatment results over the last decades. Two thirds of AMI cases are of occlusive arterial origin with potential for better survival if revascularised. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42021247148.

Abstract
Surgery for acute mesenteric infarction (AMI) is associated with high mortality. This study aimed to generate a mortality prediction model to predict the 30-day mortality of surgery for AMI. We included patients ≥18 years who received bowel resection in treating AMI and randomly divided into the derivation and validation groups. After multivariable analysis, the ‘Surgery for acute mesenteric infarction mortality score’ (SAMIMS) system was generated and was including age >62-year-old (3 points), hemodialysis (2 points), congestive heart failure (1 point), peptic ulcer disease (1 point), diabetes (1 point), cerebrovascular disease (1 point), and severe liver disease (4 points). The 30-day-mortality rates in the derivation group were 4.4%, 13.4%, 24.5%, and 32.5% among very low (0 point), low (1−3 point(s)), intermediate (4−6 points), and high (7−13 points)-risk patients. Compared to the very-low-risk group, the low-risk (OR = 3.332), intermediate-risk (OR = 7.004), and high-risk groups (OR = 10.410, p < 0.001) exhibited higher odds of 30-day mortality. We identified similar results in the validation group. The areas under the ROC curve were 0.677 and 0.696 in the derivation and validation groups. Our prediction model, SAMIMS, allowed for the stratification of the patients’ 30-day-mortality risk of surgery for acute mesenteric infarction.

Abstract
Introduction and importance Mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) is one of the common occlusive causes of compromised bowel perfusion. Contrast-enhanced CT angiography is the diagnostic imaging study of choice for MVT. In-hospital mortality following acute mesenteric infarction is 63 %. Surgical resection may be life saving for patients with peritoneal signs or refractory to conservative management. Case presentation We consecutively included records of five patients from Lubaga Hospital with intestinal obstruction who underwent bowel resection following intraoperatively confirmed acute mesenteric ischemia between May 2017 and November 2021. Three of the patients were female. Patients were between 21 and 45 years. One patient had comorbid conditions and an identifiable underlying etiology of polycythemia for MVT. Duration of symptoms ranged from 1 to 11 days. All patients underwent open laparotomy, the length of bowel resection ranged from 77 cm to 600 cm (mean length of 337 cm). Two patients developed short bowel syndrome (SBS) and one patient developed intestinal fistula. There was one in-hospital death due to multi-organ failure. Clinical discussion Morbidity and mortality are associated with delay to diagnose the condition. Revascularization is the primary goal, resection of all non-viable regions and preservation of viable bowel. Mortality is commonly related to multi-organ failure. Advanced intensive care and parenteral nutrition have improved survival rates over the years. 2-year and 5-year survival rates have been reported to be 70 % and 50 %. Conclusion Good outcomes are still possible for post-operatively optimized patients despite the high mortality and morbidity associated with bowel resection following extensive mesenteric thrombosis. Despite high morbidity and mortality of mesenteric thrombosis, good outcomes are possible in optimized patients. Short bowel syndrome and fistulae are a major course of morbidity in massive bowel resected patients. Surgery is indicated for patients with peritoneal signs and those refractory to conservative management.

Abstract
Gut ischemia is a frequent but underdiagnosed complication, especially in critically ill intensive care patients, and represents a special diagnostic challenge that can only be solved in an interdisciplinary manner. We report a case of a 54-year-old woman with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) as a cause of septic shock diagnosed by intravital microscopy (IVM) 2 days before visible necrotic changes in a multimodality approach. We show that intravital microscopy can be a serious alternative for the early diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia in the hands of the skilled. We use this case to discuss the value and clinical perspective of IVM in the intensive care setting.

Abstract
PURPOSE Primary acute intestinal ischaemia (AII) is an abdominal catastrophe caused by intravascular obstruction of blood supply. It is difficult to diagnose. Computerized tomography (CT) scan is the modality of choice for diagnostic evaluation. Majority of previous studies have evaluated CT findings in patients where AII was suspected. However, unveiling the unique radiological findings also in not initially suspected AII patients, might lead to the timely management of AII patients, and is the aim of this study. METHODS In a single-center, retrospective case-control study, preoperative radiological findings from abdominal CT scans in 48 patients with primary AII were compared with 80 non-ischemic controls. Radiological findings were analyzed using multivariable logistical regression with adjustment for age and gender and reported as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and p values. RESULTS Thirty-nine (81%) cases with AII were referred to an abdominal CT scan without a specific clinical suspicion of AII. Three main radiological categories (intestinal wall pathology [OR 7.4, CI 2.3-24.0, p value < 0.001], gastrointestinal vessel pathology [OR 19.3, CI 4.6-80.5, p value < 0.001) and intestinal diameter [OR 4.7, CI 1.6-13.4, p value 0.004]) were significantly different in AII patients. Subgroup analysis implied that pneumatosis intestinalis, increased contrast enhancement in the bowel wall, inferior mesenteric artery arteriosclerosis and colonic contraction were predictors of AII. CONCLUSION Radiological changes within the intestinal wall, luminal diameter and gastrointestinal vessels are independent predictors of AII. Awareness of these radiological findings, therefore, plays a central role in patients with an indistinct clinical picture in early recognition and treatment of a life-threatening AII. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04361110 (April 24, 2020), retrospectively registered.

Abstract
Postoperative mortality in patients undergoing surgical and/or interventional treatment for acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) has remained an unsolved problem in recent decades. Here, we investigated clinical predictors of postoperative mortality in a large European cohort of patients undergoing treatment for AMI. In total, 179 patients who underwent surgical and/or interventional treatment for AMI between 2009 and 2021 at our institution were included in this analysis. Associations between postoperative mortality and various clinical variables were assessed using univariate and multivariable binary logistic regression analysis. Most of the patients were diagnosed with arterial ischemia (AI; n = 104), while venous ischemia (VI; n = 21) and non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI; n = 54) were present in a subset of patients. Overall inhouse mortality was 55.9% (100/179). Multivariable analyses identified leukocytes (HR = 1.08; p = 0.008), lactate (HR = 1.25; p = 0.01), bilirubin (HR = 2.05; p = 0.045), creatinine (HR = 1.48; p = 0.039), etiology (AI, VI or NOMI; p = 0.038) and portomesenteric vein gas (PMVG; HR = 23.02; p = 0.012) as independent predictors of postoperative mortality. In a subanalysis excluding patients with fatal prognosis at the first surgical exploration (n = 24), leukocytes (HR = 1.09; p = 0.004), lactate (HR = 1.27; p = 0.003), etiology (AI, VI or NOMI; p = 0.006), PMVG (HR = 17.02; p = 0.018) and intraoperative FFP transfusion (HR = 4.4; p = 0.025) were determined as independent predictors of postoperative mortality. Further, the risk of fatal outcome changed disproportionally with increased preoperative lactate values. The clinical outcome of patients with AMI was determined using a combination of pre- and intraoperative clinical and radiological characteristics. Serum lactate appears to be of major clinical importance as the risk of fatal outcome increases significantly with higher lactate values.

[PMID: 34761305 PMCID: PMC8580173 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-021-03337-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2021] [Revised: 10/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Background Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a less common but devastating complication of COVID-19 disease. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the most common CT imaging features of AMI in COVID-19 and also provide an updated review of the literature on symptoms, treatment, histopathological and operative findings, and follow-up of these patients. Methods A systematic literature search of four databases: Pubmed, EMBASE, WHO database, and Google Scholar, was performed to identify all the articles which described abdominal CT imaging findings of AMI in COVID-19. Results A total of 47 studies comprising 75 patients were included in the final review. Small bowel ischemia (46.67%) was the most prevalent abdominal CT finding, followed by ischemic colitis (37.3%). Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI; 67.9%) indicating microvascular involvement was the most common pattern of bowel involvement. Bowel wall thickening/edema (50.9%) was more common than bowel hypoperfusion (20.7%). While ileum and colon both were equally involved bowel segments (32.07% each), SMA (24.9%), SMV (14.3%), and the spleen (12.5%) were the most commonly involved artery, vein, and solid organ, respectively. 50% of the patients receiving conservative/medical management died, highlighting high mortality without surgery. Findings on laparotomy and histopathology corroborated strikingly with CT imaging findings. Conclusion In COVID-19 patients with AMI, small bowel ischemia is the most prevalent imaging diagnosis and NOMI is the most common pattern of bowel involvement. Contrast-enhanced CT is a powerful decision-making tool for prompt diagnosis of AMI in COVID-19, thereby potentially improving time to treat as well as clinical outcomes.

Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) and prognostic signs at CT: reperfusion or not reperfusion that is the question! Abdom Radiol (NY) 2022; 47:1603-1613. [PMID: 34755202 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-021-03317-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is a misdiagnosed and dangerous condition. To our knowledge, a comprehensive evaluation of CT parameters that can predict the outcome of patients suffering from NOMI is still missing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Contrast-enhanced CT examination of 84 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of NOMI (37 with clinical and laboratory confirmation and 47 biopsy or surgery proven) was retrospectively reviewed by assessing vessels, mesentery, bowel, and peritoneal cavity CT quantitative and dichotomous parameters, and data were analyzed with Fisher's test. Diameter of superior mesenteric artery (SMA), celiac trunk (CT), inferior vena cava (IVC), superior mesenteric vein (SMV), and differences in CT HU (Delta HU) of the bowel wall before and after intravenous contrast media (ICM) administration were correlated to the patients' outcome using ANOVA test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were elaborated after a binary logistic regression was performed. RESULTS Increased number and diameter of vessels, bowel wall thickening, and hypervascularity were more frequent in patients with good prognosis. Conversely, pale mesentery, paper thin, hypovascularity, and aeroportia were more frequent in patients with bad prognosis. A significant correlation between diameters of SMA, CT, IVC, IMA, and SMV and outcome was found at univariate analysis. Also Delta HU resulted to be correlated with the outcome. At multivariate analysis only IVC and Delta HU were significant (p = 0.038 and 0.01) and the combined AUC resulted in 0.806 (CI 0.708-0.903). CONCLUSION Dichotomous signs of reperfusion and quantitative CT parameters can predict the outcome of patients with NOMI. In particular the combination of IVC diameter and Delta HU of bowel wall allows to predict the prognosis with the highest accuracy.

Abstract
Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is a rare but life-threatening post-stroke complication. This is the first case series report of NOMI after stroke, describing its characteristics and the difficulty of diagnosis. We retrospectively reviewed 367 stroke patients from April 2018 to May 2019 in our hospital. We identified six patients (1.6%) with NOMI after stroke and described their clinical presentation, including characteristics, vital signs, laboratory parameters, treatment, and outcomes. The mean interval between stroke onset and diagnosis of NOMI was 4.6 days (range, 3–10 days). Five patients had disturbance of consciousness caused by stroke, and therefore the major complaints and symptoms associated with NOMI were nonspecific, possibly resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment. All patients had a high respiratory rate (≥22 breaths/min). C-reactive protein and lactate levels were high (mean, 21.6 mg/L and 2.4 mmol/L, respectively). All patients underwent emergent abdominal operations. Four patients were discharged with modified Rankin Scale scores ≥4, and two patients died. NOMI can be a fatal post-stroke complication and is challenging to diagnose. Further investigations should be conducted to determine the most efficient way to diagnose NOMI after stroke.

Abstract
The authors report endovascular treatment of acute thromboembolic occlusion of superior mesenteric artery in a 75-year-old patient whose postoperative period was complicated by massive reperfusion and translocation syndrome. Contrast-enhanced CT in 12 hours after successful thrombectomy from superior mesenteric artery revealed CT signs of irreversible bowel lesion, i.e. gas in hepatic veins, intestinal wall and mesenteric veins, bowel wall thinning. In addition, CT revealed extremely rare sign of severe acute mesenteric ischemia (gas in superior mesenteric artery and celiac axis). We found no description of gas in celiac axis following acute mesenteric ischemia in available literature.

Abstract
Ischemic bowel disease (ISBODI) includes colon ischemia, acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) and chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). Epidemiologically, colon ischemia is the most common type followed by AMI and CMI. There are various risk factors for the development of ISBODI. Abdominal pain is the common presenting symptom of each type. High clinical suspicion is essential in ordering appropriate tests. Imaging studies and colonoscopy with biopsy are the main diagnostic tests. Treatment varies from conservative measures to surgical resection and revascularization. Involvement of multidisciplinary team is essential in managing ISBODI. Although open surgery with revascularization plays an important role, recently there is an increasing interest in percutaneous endovascular treatment.

Evaluating the Risk of Irreversible Intestinal Necrosis Among Critically Ill Patients With Nonocclusive Mesenteric Ischemia. Am J Gastroenterol 2021; 116:1506-1513. [PMID: 34183578 DOI: 10.14309/ajg.0000000000001274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2020] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION To identify factors associated with irreversible transmural necrosis (ITN) among critically ill patients experiencing nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) and to compare the predictive value regarding ITN risk stratification with that of the previously described Clichy score. METHODS All consecutive patients admitted to the intensive care unit between 2009 and 2019 who underwent exploratory laparotomy for NOMI and who had an available contrast-enhanced computed tomography with at least 1 portal venous phase were evaluated for inclusion. Clinical, laboratory, and radiological variables were collected. ITN was assessed on pathological reports of surgical specimens and/or on laparotomy findings in cases of open-close surgery. Factors associated with ITN were identified by univariate and multivariate analysis to derive a NOMI-ITN score. This score was further compared with the Clichy score. RESULTS We identified 4 factors associated with ITN in the context of NOMI: absence of bowel enhancement, bowel thinning, plasma bicarbonate concentration ≤15 mmol/L, and prothrombin rate <40%. These factors were included in a new NOMI-ITN score, with 1 point attributed for each variable. ITN was observed in 6%, 38%, 65%, 88%, and 100% of patients with NOMI-ITN score ranging from 0 to 4, respectively. The NOMI-ITN score outperformed the Clichy score for the prediction of ITN (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve 0.882 [95% confidence interval 0.826-0.938] vs 0.674 [95% confidence interval 0.582-0.766], respectively, P < 0.001). DISCUSSION We propose a new 4-point score aimed at stratifying risk of ITN in patients with NOMI. The Clichy score should be applied to patients with occlusive acute mesenteric ischemia only.

Abstract
Acute bowel ischemia (ABI) can be life threatening with high mortality rate. In spite of the advances made in diagnosis and treatment of ABI, no significant change has occurred in the mortality over the past decade. ABI is potentially reversible with prompt diagnosis. The radiologist plays a central role in the initial diagnosis and preventing progression to irreversible intestinal ischemic injury or bowel necrosis. The most single imaging findings described in the literature are either non-specific or only present in the late stages of ABI, urging the use of a constellation of features to reach a more confident diagnosis. While ABI has been traditionally categorized based on the etiology with a wide spectrum of imaging findings overlapped with each other, the final decision for patient’s management is usually made on the stage of the ABI with respect to the underlying pathophysiology. In this review, we first discuss the pathologic stages of ischemia and then summarize the various imaging signs and causes of ABI. We also emphasize on the correlation of imaging findings and pathological staging of the disease. Finally, a management approach is proposed using combined clinical and radiological findings to determine whether the patient may benefit from surgery or not.

Abstract
Purpose To determine 30-day-mortality rates and identify predictors for survival in patients undergoing endovascular revascularization for acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) due to occlusion of the celiac (CA) or superior mesenteric artery (SMA) from arterial thrombosis in the setting of atherosclerosis at the vessel origin. Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis on patients who underwent acute endovascular revascularization to treat AMI caused by thrombotic occlusion of the CA and/or SMA between January 2011 and December 2019 was conducted. 30-day-mortality rates were calculated. Univariate binomial logistic regression analyses (p < 0.05) were performed to assess whether the following factors were associated with 30-day mortality: sex, age, history of smoking, history of abdominal angina, signs of bowel necrosis on pre-interventional CT, one- vs. two-vessel disease, patency of the inferior mesenteric artery, outpatient or inpatient occurrence of ischemia, onset of AMI during ITU stay, elevated pre-interventional serum lactate levels, total leukocyte count, platelet/lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio. Results 40 patients were included in this analysis. 30-day-mortality rate was 25/40 (62.5%). Median overall survival of patients who survived the first 30 days was 36 ± 18 months. None of the analyzed factors was statistically significantly associated with 30-day mortality. Conclusion Although mortality of patients with AMI due to acute arterial thrombosis remains high, almost 40% of patient who underwent emergent endovascular revascularization survived longer than one month. Since no predictors for the outcome in these patients were identified, all patients with AMI should be offered an immediate revascularization effort.

Abstract
AIM There is a requirement for an expansive and up to date review of the management of emergency colorectal conditions seen in adults. The primary objective is to provide detailed evidence-based guidelines for the target audience of general and colorectal surgeons who are responsible for an adult population and who practise in Great Britain and Ireland. METHODS Surgeons who are elected members of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland Emergency Surgery Subcommittee were invited to contribute various sections to the guidelines. They were directed to produce a pathology-based document using literature searches that were systematic, comprehensible, transparent and reproducible. Levels of evidence were graded. Each author was asked to provide a set of recommendations which were evidence-based and unambiguous. These recommendations were submitted to the whole guideline group and scored. They were then refined and submitted to a second vote. Only those that achieved >80% consensus at level 5 (strongly agree) or level 4 (agree) after two votes were included in the guidelines. RESULTS All aspects of care (excluding abdominal trauma) for emergency colorectal conditions have been included along with 122 recommendations for management. CONCLUSION These guidelines provide an up to date and evidence-based summary of the current surgical knowledge in the management of emergency colorectal conditions and should serve as practical text for clinicians managing colorectal conditions in the emergency setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been insufficient evidence regarding a treatment strategy for patients with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) due to the lack of large-scale studies. We aimed to evaluate the clinical benefit of strategic planned relaparotomy in patients with NOMI using detailed perioperative information. METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study that included NOMI patients who underwent laparotomy. In-hospital mortality, 28-day mortality, incidence of total adverse events, ventilator-free days, and intensive care unit (ICU)-free days were compared between groups experiencing the planned and on-demand relaparotomy strategies. Analyses were performed using a multivariate mixed effects model and a propensity score matching model after adjusting for pre-operative, intra-operative, and hospital-related confounders. RESULTS A total of 181 patients from 17 hospitals were included, of whom 107 (59.1%) were treated using the planned relaparotomy strategy. The multivariate mixed effects regression model indicated no significant differences for in-hospital mortality (61 patients [57.0%] in the planned relaparotomy group vs. 28 patients [37.8%] in the on-demand relaparotomy group; adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval] = 1.94 [0.78-4.80]), as well as in 28-day mortality, adverse events, and ICU-free days. Significant reduction in ventilator-free days was observed in the planned relaparotomy group. Propensity score matching analysis of 61 matched pairs with comparable patient severity did not show superiority of the planned relaparotomy strategy. CONCLUSIONS The planned relaparotomy strategy, compared with on-demand relaparotomy strategy, did not show clinical benefits after the initial surgery of patients with NOMI. Further studies estimating potential subpopulations who may benefit from this strategy are required.

Abstract
Purpose The study aimed to report the clinical manifestation and identify the risk factors for postoperative mortality in patients who were diagnosed with obstructive acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) based on a survey of a hospital in western China. Patients and Methods We reviewed clinical data of 108 patients with obstructive AMI at West China Hospital, Sichuan University, from 2011 to 2017. Clinical characteristic was described and compared. Factors affecting postoperative survival were analyzed. Results A total of 108 obstructive AMI cases were included in this study, with an overall average age of 57.1 years, including 58 arterial occlusive mesenteric ischemia (AOMI) and 50 mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT). AOMI patients were older and had a significantly higher frequency of these comorbidities, including heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. In comparison, MVT had a significantly higher proportion of male patients and a higher frequency of liver disease. A total of 77 patients underwent laparotomy, and the 30-day postoperative mortality rate was 29.9%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the time interval from admission to surgery (adjust OR 1.19; 95% CI [1.07–1.34], P = 0.005), platelet count (adjust OR = 0.98; 95% CI [0.97–0.99], P = 0.008) and AOMI (adjust OR = 5.55; 95% CI [1.36–22.55], P = 0.017) were independent predictors of 30-day mortality after exploratory laparotomy for obstructive AMI. Further analysis of the 45 AOMI showed that the time interval from admission to surgery (adjustOR 1.22; 95% CI [1.01–1.47], P = 0.036) and platelet count (adjustOR = 0.98; 95% CI [0.97–0.99], P = 0.020) were independent risk factors for 30-day postoperative mortality of AOMI. Conclusion Early identification of AOMI, improving the efficiency of enhanced CT examination, strengthening doctor–patient communication, active laparotomy, and optimize platelet management may also help reduce the overall short-term mortality of obstructive AMI. Building the multidisciplinary team model of diagnostic imaging, vascular intervention, and surgical treatment to manage obstructive AMI may be urgently needed in western China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the results of endovascular treatment of 15 patients with acute mesenteric ischemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS There were 15 patients with acute mesenteric ischemia who underwent surgery (9 men and 6 women). Mean age was 77±11 years. Acute intestinal ischemia was caused by thromboembolism of superior mesenteric artery (9 patients), thrombosis of superior mesenteric artery (5 patients) and critical stenosis of the ostia of superior mesenteric artery and celiac trunk (1 patient). Mean time from clinical manifestation of disease to admission to the hospital was 13 hours (range 2-72 hours). In-hospital development of acute mesenteric ischemia was noted in 2 patients. Indications for endovascular intervention and techniques of endovascular revascularization of superior mesenteric artery are described in the article. RESULTS Blood flow restoration in superior mesenteric artery was achieved in 14 (93%) out of 15 patients. Laparotomy was required in 4 (27%) patients for extensive resection of necrotic intestine (n=1, 6.7%), local resection of small bowel (n=2, 13%). In another (6.7%) patient, intestine was recognized as viable after laparotomy. A bulk of intestine was preserved in most patients (n=14, 93%). In-hospital mortality rate was 47% (7 patients died). The main cause of nosocomial death (6 cases) was reperfusion syndrome followed by respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ failure. CONCLUSION New methods of prevention and treatment of reperfusion syndrome can improve the results of treatment of acute mesenteric ischemia.

Abstract
Objectives: This article aims to provide updates on the worldwide epidemiology of vascular disorders of the intestine.Methods: A comprehensive search for obtaining worldwide epidemiologic information on the burden of vascular disorders of the intestine was carried out in the Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx) repository. The condition 'vascular intestinal disorders' was associated with other epidemiologic variables such as year, sex, age, location and socioeconomic status.Results: The current global incidence and mortality of vascular disorders of the intestine are 8.11 per 100,000 cases/year and 1.26 per 100,000 deaths/year, respectively, translating into a death rate of 15.5%. Both global incidence and mortality are 32% higher in the female sex and have both displayed a continuous increase during the past 20 years (+29.3% and +18.4% since 1998, respectively). Incidence and mortality curves appear similar between sexes, with the incidence increasing after the age of 40 years and mortality after the age of 50 years, respectively. The peak of both worldwide incidence and mortality was seen in very elderly people. The death rate increased in parallel with incidence and mortality, from ∼1% to 3% in childhood up to ∼50% after the age of 95 years. Both incidence and mortality displayed a positive association with socioeconomic status. Future projections suggest that incidence and mortality will display 44% and 24% growths by the year 2050.Conclusions: Our analysis demonstrates that the clinical and societal burden of vascular disorders of the intestine is especially higher in women, in the elderly and in people with higher socioeconomic status.

Abstract
The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) provides vital blood supply to the midgut, and an acute abnormality can rapidly precipitate bowel ischemia and infarction and lead to morbidity and mortality. Vascular diseases that acutely compromise the SMA threaten its tributaries and include occlusion, dissection, aneurysm rupture, pseudoaneurysm, vasculitis, and SMA branch hemorrhage into the bowel. Emergency medicine physicians rely on the radiologist to identify SMA abnormalities, to characterize them, and to detail findings that guide the appropriate triage of these patients. As such, radiologists must be cognizant of the features that influence patient treatment to assist vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists in decision making. Some patients can be treated medically, while clinical and radiographic findings may suggest the need for interventional or surgical repair of the artery. In the latter case, multidetector CT findings aid in determining which of the various surgical and endovascular treatment options is optimal, and both vascular and gastrointestinal sequelae of acute SMA abnormalities contribute to these determinations. The authors review acute life-threatening conditions involving the SMA including acute occlusion, dissection, aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, and hemorrhage and discuss the vascular and gastrointestinal multidetector CT findings in each of these conditions that help to guide surgical and interventional management. ©RSNA, 2019.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Superior mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) is a poorly understood clinical entity, and as such, outcomes are poorly described. This study aimed to identify predictors of bowel ischemia after MVT and to compare outcomes for patients treated medically (group 1) with those for patients treated with bowel resection (group 2). METHODS This was a retrospective, single-institution study capturing all patients diagnosed with symptomatic acute MVT on computed tomography imaging from 2008 to 2018. Demographics, comorbidities, imaging, laboratory values, and treatment were included. Predictors of bowel resection were analyzed by univariate and multivariate statistics. Outcomes including mortality, readmissions for abdominal pain, and chronic mesenteric venous congestion were compared using χ2 test. RESULTS There were 121 patients included in the study; 98 patients were treated medically (group 1), 19 patients were treated with bowel resection (group 2), and 4 patients were treated with endovascular recanalization (group 3). Group 1 and group 2 were compared directly. Patients requiring bowel resection tended to have higher body mass index (P = .051) and a hypercoagulable disorder (P = .003). Patients who required bowel resection were more likely to present with lactic acidosis (P < .001) and leukocytosis (P < .001) with bowel wall thickening on scan (P < .001). On multivariable analysis, a genetic thrombophilia was a strong predictor of bowel ischemia (odds ratio, 3.81; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-12.37). One-year mortality and readmission rates did not differ between groups. However, readmission rates for abdominal pain were high for both groups (group 1, 44.90%; group 2, 57.89%; P = .317), and a significant proportion of patients exhibited chronic mesenteric venous congestion on repeated scan (group 1, 42.86%; group 2, 47.37%; P = .104). CONCLUSIONS A genetic hypercoagulable disorder is a predictor of bowel ischemia due to MVT. Regardless of treatment, outcomes after MVT are morbid, with high rates of readmission for abdominal pain. An alternative approach to treat these patients is needed, given the poor outcomes with current strategies.

Abstract
Objectives Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a gastrointestinal and vascular emergency in which the detection of patients requiring intestinal resection is mandatory. Methods Registered data of 55 consecutive patients admitted to our center between January 2010 and December 2016 that underwent an explorative laparotomy for a suspected diagnosis of irreversible transmural intestinal necrosis (ITIN) were analyzed. Demographic, clinical, laboratory and CT findings were statistically analyzed in order to search predictive factors of ITIN and their correlation to its clinical spectre. Results Tobacco use was the most statistically significant (p<0.01) cardiovascular disease risk factor involved in ITIN. Among lab tests, Serum lactate levels ˃ 2mmol/L resulted in a statistically significant association with ITIN (p=0.0001). Organ failure (defined as Marshall score> 2) and the three main CT findings (decreased bowel wall enhancement, bowel loop dilation and demonstrated vessel occlusion) were strongly associated with ITIN (p values: 0.001, 0.007, 0.0013, 0.0005). Only serum lactate levels>2 mmol/L resulted as statistically significant as predictive factors of ITIN in multivariate analysis using logistic regression (OR 49.66 and p-value 0.0021). Conclusion Our univariate and multivariate analysis identified multiple factors (Serum lactate levels ˃ 2mmol/L, Organ failure, CT signs) that could suggest patients that require a surgical approach for ITIN.

Abstract
Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia after cardiac surgery is a life-threatening complication requiring emergent intervention. However, because of its rarity, the clinical features and outcomes of nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia remain unknown. The present study aimed to clarify patients' backgrounds, clinical features and mortality of nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia after cardiac surgery, using a Japanese national inpatient database. We identified patients undergoing cardiac or thoracic aortic surgery between July 2010 and March 2017, using the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination database. We calculated the incidence proportion of nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia and examined treatment options (bowel resection and interventional radiology) and patients' discharge status (in-hospital mortality and destination of discharge). We identified 221,900 eligible patients to find 568 (0.26%) patients with bowel ischemia in the same admission. Of these, 124 (0.06%) patients developed nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia, and in-hospital mortality after nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia was 77%. Treatment options for nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia included bowel resection alone (n = 34), interventional radiology (n = 15), or both (n = 15); 27, 10, and 8 patients died, respectively. Seven patients (5.6%) were discharged to home. Among 60 patients without bowel resection or interventional radiology, 50 patients died. In multivariable regression analysis, older age, preoperative hemodialysis, preoperative circulatory support, and hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass were associated with NOMI. The present study showed that nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia after cardiac surgery was very rare. Mortality following nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia was very high even if patients underwent bowel resection or interventional radiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe acute mesenteric infarction due to suspected Spirocerca lupi aberrant migration in 5 dogs. CASE SERIES SUMMARY All dogs were large breed, none of which exhibited typical clinical signs associated with spirocercosis. All dogs were eventually diagnosed with septic peritonitis. On exploratory laparotomy, thickening of the jejunal arteries, surrounding mesojejunum, and segmental necrosis were identified. Similar thickening and hematoma formation were found in other regions of the mesentery. In 4 of the cases, the necrotic segment was located in the distal jejunum. Histology revealed thrombotic mesenteric vessels with intralesional S. lupi nematode larvae. Resection and anastomosis of the necrosed section was performed and all but 1 dog survived and were discharged within 1-6 days. NEW OR UNIQUE INFORMATION PROVIDED Spirocerca lupi is a potential cause of mesenteric infarction in endemic areas when no other obvious etiology is identified.

Abstract
Background The primary endpoint was to investigate the prognostic factors of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) in ICU patients. Methods Retrospective observational, non-interventional, monocentric study of a cohort of 214 ICU patients with a confirmed diagnosis of arterial AMI. Results We collected demographics, mortality, hospital stay, prior medical history, comorbidities, reasons for ICU admission, laboratory investigations, diagnostic procedures, therapy, severity scores. The 30-day mortality rate was 71% for the 214 patients with arterial AMI. The incidence of nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia was particularly high. AMI was a secondary diagnosis in 58% of patients. Half of the population was represented by surgical patients who mostly required an urgent procedure. The mortality rate was not different in the subgroup with aortic surgery. Three factors were associated with an increase or decrease in mortality: the maximal dose of vasopressors (VP) administered to the patient (OR = 1.20; 95%CI = 1.08–1.33; p < 0.001), arterial change in lactate values within the first 24 h of admission (OR = 1.24; 95%CI = 1.05–1.48; p = 0.012) and anticoagulation (OR = 0.19; 95%CI = 0.043–0.84; p = 0.029). Conclusions Fatalities after AMI were related to a high incidence of multi-organ failure. The monitoring of arterial lactate appeared helpful to identify the patients with a poor prognosis.

Abstract
We report a 66-year-old male who developed diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and necrosis of the small intestine due to non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI), 3 months after starting quetiapine treatment. He was transferred to our hospital and diagnosed as diabetic for the first time, associated with DKA. Despite improvement in DKA, abdominal pain worsened gradually 10 h after hospitalization. Computed tomography (CT) revealed bowel emphysema, and gas out of the gut wall, in the mesenteric veins and the intrahepatic portal vein, suggesting intestinal necrosis. He survived because of resection of necrotic small-intestinal tissue and he finally required no diabetes treatment. Mesenteric arteries were patent with good palpitation without occlusion or thrombosis, and pathological findings showed ischemic enteritis, which is consistent with NOMI. DKA is a rare but serious side effect of second-generation antipsychotic medications (SGAMs) such as quetiapine, which can result in NOMI: a life-threatening complication. We must keep in mind that the plasma glucose concentration may increase in patients taking SGAMs, or that NOMI may occur concurrently if DKA develops.

Abstract
PURPOSE Surgical exploration and bowel resection are frequently required for treating non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia. Intraoperative evaluation of intestinal perfusion is subjective and challenging. In this feasibility study, ICG fluorescence angiography was performed in order to evaluate intestinal perfusion in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of 52 patients who were operated for acute mesenteric ischemia using ICG fluorescence angiography. Patients with occlusive disease requiring recanalization were excluded. The SPY and PinPoint imaging systems were used for open and laparoscopic surgery, respectively. Intraoperative macroscopic assessment of perfusion was compared with the ICG angiography results. RESULTS Surgical exploration was performed for ischemia of the colon (n = 12), the small bowel (n = 23), or both (n = 16). One patient had ischemia of the esophagus and stomach. All patients had a preoperative CT angiography to rule out stenosis or occlusion of the mesenteric vessels. In 18 cases (34.6%), ICG fluorescence angiography provided information that was supplemental to macroscopic evaluation, but most patients did not survive the postoperative course. However, in six of those cases (11.5%), ICG angiography led to a major change in operative strategy resulting in a significant clinical benefit for those patients. For two cases, ICG fluorescence produced false negative results. DISCUSSION ICG tissue angiography is feasible and technically reliable for evaluating intestinal perfusion in acute mesenteric ischemia and led to a significant clinical benefit in 11% of our patients. A relevant discrepancy between surgical visual assessment and fluorescence angiography was found in 35% of the cases, which may help to define resection margins more accurately and thus support surgical decision-making.

Abstract
RATIONALE Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is a life-threatening disorder; prompt diagnosis is vital. Surgical treatment is often required, but some cases can be treated conservatively. We herein report an extremely rare case wherein protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) developed after conservative treatment of NOMI. PATIENT CONCERNS The patient was a 66-year-old man. He underwent laparoscopic super low anterior resection and temporary ileostomy for sigmoid colon cancer and rectum cancer. During the postoperative course, he developed ileus. Subsequently, he developed shock. On examination, the possibility of NOMI could not be denied, but intestinal necrosis was absent. Conservative treatment was initiated. His general condition improved, but the ileus persisted. Therefore, we performed a stoma closure. Ten days after stoma closure, he developed continuous unexplained diarrhea. The serum albumin and total protein levels were low. The symptoms improved after administration of an antidiarrheal drug, but the root cause was yet untreated. DIAGNOSIS The patient's alpha-1 antitrypsin clearance was increased. A CT scan revealed an enhanced hypertrophied wall of the short segment of the small intestine, and 99m Tc-labeled human serum albumin scintigraphy revealed protein leakage into the thickened wall of the small intestine. We arrived at a definitive diagnosis of PLE secondary to NOMI. INTERVENTIONS Partial resection of the affected small intestine was performed. OUTCOMES The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on the 30th postoperative day. LESSONS NOMI has a high mortality rate, often requiring intestinal resection immediately after onset. To our knowledge, there is no report of PLE developing after conservative treatment, as in our case. Further study of cases is necessary to determine the reversibility of the condition, which will influence the therapeutic plan. We herein present an extremely rare case of PLE after conservative treatment for NOMI. The possibility of PLE also needs to be considered when hypoalbuminemia occurs after conservative treatment of NOMI.

Abstract
In cases of NOMI, it is difficult to determine the area of bowel resection. Using ICG fluorescence imaging, we can evaluate ischemia of the intestine. We adeptly resected the ischemic intestine in NOMI using ICG fluorescence imaging.
Introduction Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is a type of acute intestinal ischemia, and its associated mortality is very high. In laparotomy of NOMI, we often have difficulty determining the area of bowel resection. We herein describe a case in which we detected the area of bowel resection using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging. Presentation of the case An 89-year-old man diagnosed as having advanced gastric cancer underwent distal gastrectomy. On the night of postoperative day 4, he strongly complained of distention of the abdomen. The laboratory data indicated severe metabolic acidosis and dehydration. The abdominal computed tomography scan showed a dilated small bowel, but there were no specific signs suggestive of bowel necrosis. We suspected NOMI and decided to perform emergency laparotomy because we could not exclude the possibility of bowel necrosis. During the operation, we could not detect the necrotic bowel macroscopically. After injecting 2.5 mg of ICG, the ischemic area of the bowel became visible as a region with poor fluorescence emission using the Photodynamic Eye™ (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.). We resected the ischemic bowel and performed anastomosis. We confirmed that he was alive at 4 months after the operation of NOMI. Conclusion Intraoperative ICG fluorescence imaging makes it possible to detect necrotic intestine that cannot be found with the naked eye. By using this method, planned reoperation to find any newly developed necrotic intestine might be unnecessary. Intraoperative ICG fluorescence imaging is useful for defining the area of ischemic bowel in a patient with NOMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a challenging clinical problem associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Few contemporary reports focus specifically on patients undergoing open mesenteric bypass (OMB) or delineate outcome differences based on bypass configuration. This is notable, because there is a subset of patients who are poor candidates for endovascular intervention including those with flush mesenteric vessel occlusion, long segment occlusive disease, and a thrombosed mesenteric stent and/or bypass. This analysis reviewed our experience with OMB in the treatment of AMI and compared outcomes between patients undergoing either antegrade or retrograde bypass. METHODS A single-center, retrospective review was performed to identify all patients who underwent OMB for AMI from 2002 to 2016. A preoperative history of mesenteric revascularization, demographics, comorbidities, operative details, and outcomes were abstracted. The primary end point was in-hospital mortality. Secondary end points included complications, reintervention, and overall survival. Kaplan-Meier estimation and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to analyze all end points. RESULTS Eighty-two patients (female 54%; age 63 ± 12 years) underwent aortomesenteric bypass (aortoceliac/superior mesenteric, n = 44; aortomesenteric, n = 38) for AMI. A history of prior stent/bypass was present in 20% (n = 16). A majority (76%; n = 62) underwent antegrade bypass and the remainder received retrograde infrarenal aortoiliac inflow. Patients receiving antegrade OMB were more likely to be male (53% vs 25%; P = .02), have coronary artery disease (48% vs 25%; P = .06), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (52% vs 25%; P = .03), and peripheral arterial disease (60% vs 35%; P = .05). Concurrent bowel resection was evenly distributed (antegrade, 45%; retrograde, 45%; P = .9) and 37% (n = 30) underwent subsequent resection during second look operations. The median duration of stay was 16 days (interquartile range, 9-35 days) and 78% (n = 64) experienced at least one major complication with no difference in rates between antegrade/retrograde configurations. In-hospital mortality was 37% (n = 30; multiple organ dysfunction, 22; bowel infarction, 4; hemorrhage/anemia, 2; arrhythmia, 1; stroke, 1; 30-day mortality, 26%). The median follow-up was 8 months (interquartile range, 1-26 months). The 1- and 3-year primary patency rates were both 82% ± 6% (95% confidence interval, 71%-95%), with 10 patients requiring reintervention. Estimated survival at 1 and 5 years was 57% ± 6% and 50% ± 6%, respectively. Bypass configuration was not associated with complication rates (P > .10), in-hospital mortality (log-rank, P = .3), or overall survival (log-rank, P = .9). However, a higher risk of reintervention was observed in patients undergoing retrograde bypass (hazard ratio, 3.0; 95% confidence interval, 0.9-11.0; P = .08). CONCLUSIONS OMB for AMI results in significant morbidity and mortality, irrespective of bypass configuration. Antegrade OMB is associated with comparable outcomes as retrograde OMB. The bypass configuration choice should be predicated on patient presentation, anatomy, physiology, and surgeon preference; however, an antegrade configuration may provide a lower risk of reintervention.

Abstract
We herein describe a patient with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) potentially associated with the administration of a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. A 60-year-old man with type 1 diabetes was transferred to our hospital due to vomiting and respiratory distress. He was treated with insulin, metformin and a SGLT2 inhibitor, which had recently been added. He was diagnosed with intestinal ischemia complicated by diabetic ketoacidosis and lactic acidosis. Urgent exploratory surgery was performed, and the gangrenous bowel was resected. Histological findings confirmed the diagnosis of NOMI. The administration of SGLT2 inhibitors therefore requires certain exceptions for type 1 diabetes and cautious monitoring for the occurrence of these possible adverse effects.
