  • Title: Mesenteric arteritis.
    Author: Mosley JG, Desai A, Gupta I.
    Journal: Gut; 1990 Aug; 31(8):956-7. PubMed ID: 2387524.
    Abstract:
    Four patients are presented with small bowel infarction secondary to a vascular arteritis. In three patients there was a history of rheumatoid arthritis. In each patient infarcted bowel was resected and a primary anastomosis performed. In one patient the anastomosis broke down and she subsequently died. One patient died from a disseminated rectal tumour three years later. The remaining patients remain well. If operated on early, intestinal infarction due to arteritis has a good prognosis.
