  • Title: Ischemic bowel disease: diagnosis and prognosis.
    Author: Khan AH, Rubinstein PC.
    Journal: Geriatrics; 1984 Nov; 39(11):63-5, 68-70, 72 passim. PubMed ID: 6489760.
    Abstract:
    Ischemic colitis is most often a self-limited disease lasting a few days and requiring only supportive treatment, but some patients will have persistent disease or develop infarctions or perforations that require surgery. The prognosis of patients with acute superior mesenteric arterial ischemia is poor, partly because of their advanced age and associated cardiovascular abnormalities.
