    Abstract:
    We report our experience in a series of 20 patients over 75 years of age with acute mesenteric ischemia and mesenteric infarction. This series was compared with 18 patients under 75 used a control group for scores of specific aspects to acute mesenteric ischemia. Overall mortality (80% versus 55%) (p = 0.1) and desertion rate after exploratory laparotomy (60% versus 35%) were high in the elderly patients with advanced stage disease. There was also a female predominance (80% versus 44%, p < 0.05).
