  • Title: Surgical treatment of chronic visceral ischemia.
    Author: Eidemiller LR, Nelson JC, Porter JM.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1979 Aug; 138(2):264-8. PubMed ID: 464228.
    Abstract:
    Our experience with the operative repair for chronic visceral ischemia in eight patients, including two patients without visceral ischemic symptoms, is described. We prefer revascularization of as many vessels as possible and have used a small diameter Dacron bifurcation graft directed cephalad from the infrarenal aorta to the superior mesenteric artery and hepatic or splenic artery in four patients. One patient died postoperatively of an arrhythmia. Three patients died of unrelated causes 7 to 36 months after surgery. Four patients are alive 8 to 48 months after surgery. All patients were relieved of the intestinal ischemic symptoms by surgery.
