    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The colonic ischemic necrosis is one of the most serious complication in the surgical reconstruction of abdominal aorta aneurysm (AAA) due to surgical inappropriate binding of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). METHODS: A retrospective analyzed of a group of 118 infrarenal AAA surgically treated is presented. RESULTS: The most common cause of ischemic colitis (75% of cases) is the surgical binding of an opened IMA or its failed reimplantation. CONCLUSIONS: In this paper according to their personal experience and the literature data, the authors outline a diagnostic behaviour to select the patients needing the reimplantation of IMA; they suggest to complete the pre operative information with an instrumental evaluation during the surgical treatment.
