  • Title: Management of acute intestinal ischaemia.
    Author: Windsor CW.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 1977 Jan; 59(1):50-5. PubMed ID: 835982.
    Abstract:
    The acute abdomen due to a vascular catastrophe affecting the major splanchnic vessels is often a life-threatening condition that can be very difficult to diagnose. In this article the pathological and physiological changes found in large- and small-intestinal ischaemia are related to the clinical features of the illness. Radiological, biochemical, and haematological aids to diagnosis are discussed. The treatment of large- and small-bowel ischaemia and of their specific complications, such as malabsorption and gastric hypersecretion, is outlined.
