Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia: Differential Vascularsurgical Therapy and Its Outcome in a Single-Center Observational Study.
Visceral Medicine 2022 August
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate short-/long-term vascularsurgical patency and the outcome in chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) depending on the mesenteric revascularization technique and reflecting real-world data.
Methods: This retrospective single-center observational study registered all patients who had undergone open vascularsurgical reconstruction because of CMI at a tertiary German university hospital comparing 1-versus (vs.) 2-vessel as well as antegrade versus retrograde reconstructions.
Results: In total, 35 patients were enrolled (mean [± SD] age, 64 ± 13 [range, 45-83] years; sex ratio [m:f], 16:19 [46:54]) over 12 years. Three patients with symptoms of mesenteric ischemia because of rare causes (radiation-induced and median arcuate ligament syndrome) have been excluded. While 51% of patients underwent 1-vessel reconstruction, 49% underwent 2-vessel reconstruction. There was a trend of (i) more perioperative complications in the 2-vessel group (88.2% vs. 55.6%, p = 0.06) and (ii) higher morbidity at 1 year in the 2-vessel versus 1-vessel group (57.1% and 42.9%, respectively; p = 0.466), while the morbidity of the 2-vessel versus 1-vessel group at 5 years (100% vs. 33.3%) was significantly different ( p = 0.009). The mortality was greater in the 2-vessel versus 1-vessel group as it was significantly different in the early postoperative period (31.3% vs. 0, p = 0.016) and at 1 year (50% vs. 0, p = 0.005) and 5 years (100% vs. 11%, p = 0.003). Regarding overall survival, the 1-vessel group showed a significant superiority above the 2-vessel group ( p = 0.004). Actually, there was no significant difference of early postoperative morbidity comparing the retrograde and antegrade group ( p = 0.285) as well as at 1 year and 5 years ( p = 0.715 and p = 0.620, respectively). In addition, there was no significantly different postoperative mortality in antegrade versus retrograde group at each time. Specific and general complication rates were 62.9% and 57.1%, respectively, resulting in an overall morbidity of 77.1% (mortality, 20%).
Conclusion: The vascular surgeon should be prepared to perform various procedures of mesenteric reconstruction to tailor the operative strategy to the specific needs of the individual patient.
