Abstract

The rise of endovascular techniques has improved the outcome of mesenteric ischemia. Key principle in reduction of morbidity and mortality is "revascularization first, resection later". We believe that mesenteric ischemia is a clinical challenge demanding 24/7 multidisciplinary team availability. This article describes the current insights into treatment of mesenteric ischemia.

Keywords: Mesenteric ischemia; Open surgical revascularization; PMAS; Treatment.
