  • Title: [Attempt for etiopathogenic treatment of acute superior mesenteric artery occlusion by combination of small bowel resection and percutaneous artery stenting].

    Journal: Khirurgiia (Sofiia); 2006; (4-5):59-63. PubMed ID: 18843922.
    Abstract:
    Acute mesenteric ischemia secondary to arterial occlusion is a highly lethal condition, mandating early diagnosis and prompt therapy, to prevent, or at least to minimize, bowel infarction. Progress in understanding the pathophysiology of mesenteric ischaemia has led to novel methods of treatment, so that in some circumstances therapy may be purely medical. More often surgery is demanded and is frequently life saving. Percutaneous transcatheter procedures are increasingly employed in both diagnosis and treatment. Close collaboration between surgeons, radiologists, physicians and anesthesiologists is therefore necessary if clinical outcome is to be improved. This conclusion is drawn by the presented case report.
