Intraoperative retrograde mesenteric angioplasty for acute occlusive mesenteric ischaemia: a case series.
Acute mesenteric ischaemia secondary to atherosclerotic disease of the superior mesenteric artery is a surgical emergency associated with a poor prognosis, and requires prompt diagnosis and early revascularisation in order to improve outcome. The traditional management of surgical resection of necrotic bowel plus mesenteric revascularisation by surgical bypass is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We describe the use of a combined surgical and endovascular approach, using intraoperative retrograde superior mesenteric angioplasty at the time of laparotomy. Four patients have been treated by this combined technique with three surviving, although one subsequently required an open surgical revascularisation procedure.
