  • Title: The surgical treatment of chronic intestinal ischemia.
    Author: Eklof B, Hoevels J, Ihse I.
    Journal: Ann Surg; 1978 Mar; 187(3):318-24. PubMed ID: 637591.
    Abstract:
    The mortality in acute intestinal ischemia is high, and 50% of such patients have previous attacks of abdominal angina due to chronic intestinal ischemia. Vascular reconstruction is remarkably successful in relieving the symptoms of chronic intesintal ischemia and for this reason angiographic examination is recommended in all patients in whom chronic intestinal ischemia is suspected. If the diagnosis is established by arteriography with appropriate supporting evidence, vascular reconstruction should be performed.
