  • Title: Bowel Ischemia and Portal Venous Gas: What to Do?
    Author: Sridhar P, Fisichella PM.
    Journal: J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A; 2016 Sep; 26(9):713-4. PubMed ID: 27244100.
    Abstract:
    The etiology of pneumatosis and portal venous gas in ischemic colitis is debated, but one theorized cause is transmural ischemia and subsequent bacterial translocation. Traditionally though as a surgical emergency, today not all patients with pneumatosis and portal venous gas need an operation. We have reviewed recent published algorithms and applied them to our practice.
