RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop and validate an artificial intelligence model using machine learning (ML) to predict hospital mortality in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI). METHODS: A total of 122 patients diagnosed with AMI at Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital between January 2011 and June 2023 were included in the study. These patients were divided into a training cohort (n=97) and a validation cohort (n=25), and further categorized as survivors and non-survivors during hospitalization. Serum-based laboratory results served as features. Hyperfeatures were eliminated using Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) in Python to optimize outcomes. ML algorithms and data analyses were performed using Python (version 3.7). RESULTS: Of the patients, 56.5% were male (n=69) and 43.5% were female (n=53). The mean age was 71.9 years (range 39-94 years). The mortality rate during hospitalization was 50% (n=61). To achieve optimal results, the model incorporated features such as age, red cell distribution width (RDW), C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, lactate, globulin, and creatinine. Success rates in test data were as follows: logistic regression (LG), 80%; random forest (RF), 60%; k-nearest neighbor (KN), 52%; multilayer perceptron (MLP), 72%; and support vector classifier (SVC), 84%. A voting classifier (VC), aggregating votes from all models, achieved an 84% success rate. Among the models, SVC (sensitivity 1.0, specificity 0.77, area under the curve (AUC) 0.90, Confidence Interval (95%): (0.83-0.84)) and VC (sensitivity 1.0, specificity 0.77, AUC 0.88, Confidence Interval (95%): (0.83-0.84)) were noted for their effectiveness. CONCLUSION: Independent risk factors for mortality were identified in patients with AMI. An efficient and rapid method using various ML models to predict mortality has been developed.

PURPOSE: The mortality rate for non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia remains high even after patients survive the acute postoperative period with tremendous treatment efforts, including emergency surgery, which is challenging. The aim of this study was to explore the preoperative risk factors for 90-day postoperative mortality in patients with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia. METHODS: This single-center, retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia who underwent emergency surgery between August 2014 and January 2023. All patients were divided into survival-to-discharge and mortality outcome groups at the 90-day postoperative follow-up. Preoperative factors, including comorbidities, preoperative status of vital signs and consciousness, blood gas analysis, blood test results, and computed tomography, were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Twenty patients were eligible, and 90-day mortality was observed in 10 patients (50%). The mortality outcome group had significantly lower HCO3- (20.9 vs. 14.6, p = 0.006) and higher lactate (4.4 vs. 9.4, p = 0.023) levels than did the survival outcome group. The median postoperative time to death was 19 [2-69] days, and five patients (50%) died after postoperative day 30, mainly because hemodialysis was discontinued because of hemodynamic instability in patients requiring hemodialysis. CONCLUSION: Low preoperative HCO3- and high lactate levels may be preoperative risk factors for 90-day postoperative mortality in patients with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia. However, patients on hemodialysis die from discontinuing hemodialysis even after surviving the acute postoperative phase. Therefore, indications for emergency surgery in patients with risk factors for postoperative mortality should be carefully determined.

BACKGROUND: Although several clinical guidelines recommend vasodilator therapy for non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) and immediate surgery when bowel necrosis is suspected, these recommendations are based on limited evidence. METHODS: In this retrospective nationwide observational study, we used information from the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination inpatient database from July 2010 to March 2018 to identify patients with NOMI who underwent abdominal surgeries on the day of admission. We compared patients who received postoperative vasodilator therapy (vasodilator group) with those who did not (control group). Vasodilator therapy was defined as venous and/or arterial administration of papaverine and/or prostaglandin E1 within 2 days of admission. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included the prevalence of additional abdominal surgery performed ≥3 days after admission and short bowel syndrome. RESULTS: We identified 928 eligible patients (149 in the vasodilator group and 779 in the control group). One-to-four propensity score matching yielded 149 and 596 patients for the vasodilator and control groups, respectively. There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality between the groups (control vs. vasodilator, 27.5% vs. 30.9%; risk difference, 3.4%; 95% confidence interval, -4.9 to 11.6; p=0.42) and no significant difference in the prevalences of abdominal surgery, bowel resection ≥3 days after admission, and short bowel syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative vasodilator use was not significantly associated with a reduction in in-hospital mortality or additional abdominal surgery performed ≥3 days after admission in surgically treated NOMI patients.

Background Acute arterial mesenteric ischemia requires emergency treatment and is associated with high mortality rate and poor quality of life. Identifying factors associated with survival without intestinal resection (hereafter, intestinal resection-free [IRF] survival) could help in treatment decision-making after first-line endovascular revascularization. Purpose To identify factors associated with 30-day IRF survival in patients with acute arterial mesenteric ischemia whose first-line treatment was endovascular revascularization. Materials and Methods Patients with acute arterial mesenteric ischemia whose first-line treatment was endovascular revascularization because of a low probability of bowel necrosis were included in this single-center retrospective cohort (May 2014 to August 2022). Patient demographics, laboratory values, clinical characteristics at admission, CT scans, angiograms, and endovascular revascularization-related variables were included. The primary end point was 30-day IRF survival, and secondary end points were 3-month, 1-year, and 3-year overall survival. Factors independently associated with 30-day IRF survival were identified with binary logistic regression. Results A total of 117 patients (median age, 70 years [IQR, 60-77]; 53 female, 64 male) were included. Within 30 days after revascularization, 73 of 117 patients (62%) survived without resection, 28 of 117 (24%) survived after resection, 14 of 117 (12%) died without resection, and two of 117 (2%) underwent resection but died. The 30-day IRF survival was 63% (74 of 117). The 3-month, 1-year, and 3-year mortality rate was 18% (21 of 117), 21% (25 of 117), and 27% (32 of 117), respectively. Independent predictors of 30-day IRF survival were persistent bowel enhancement at initial CT (odds ratio [OR], 0.3; 95% CI: 0.2, 0.8; P = .013) and C-reactive protein (CRP) level less than 100 mg/L (OR, 0.3; 95% CI: 0.1, 0.8; P = .002). The 30-day IRF survival was 86%, 61%, 47%, and 23% in patients with both favorable features, persistent bowel enhancement but CRP level greater than 100 mg/L, no bowel enhancement but CRP level less than 100 mg/L, and both unfavorable features, respectively. Conclusion Independent predictors associated with 30-day IRF survival in patients with acute arterial mesenteric ischemia whose first-line treatment was endovascular revascularization were persistent bowel wall enhancement at initial CT and CRP level less than 100 mg/L. © RSNA, 2024 Supplemental material is available for this article.

BACKGROUND: We examined outcomes in Acute Mesenteric Ischemia (AMI) with the hypothesis that Open Abdomen (OA) is associated with decreased mortality. METHODS: We performed a cohort study reviewing NSQIP emergency laparotomy patients, 2016-2020, with a postoperative diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia. OA was defined using flags for patients without fascial closure. Logistic regression was used with outcomes of 30-day mortality and several secondary outcomes. RESULTS: Out of 5514 cases, 4624 (83.9%) underwent resection and 387 (7.0%) underwent revascularization. The OA rate was 32.6%. 10.8% of patients who were closed required reoperation. After adjustment for demographics, transfer status, comorbidities, preoperative variables including creatinine, white blood cell count, and anemia, as well as operative time, OA was associated with OR 1.58 for mortality (95% CI [1.38, 1.81], p < 0.001). Among revascularizations, there was no such association (p = 0.528). OA was associated with ventilator support >48 h (OR 4.04, 95% CI [3.55, 4.62], and p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: OA in AMI was associated with increased mortality and prolonged ventilation. This is not so in revascularization patients, and 1 in 10 patients who underwent primary closure required reoperation. OA should be considered in specific cases of AMI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Retrospective cohort, Level III.

PURPOSE: Contrast enhancement of the adrenal gland defined by computed tomography (CT) was previously analyzed as a prognostic factor for critically ill patients in various diseases. However, no study investigated this quantitative parameter in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the contrast enhancement of the adrenal glands in patients with clinically suspected AMI. METHODS: All patients with clinically suspected AMI were retrospectively assessed between 2016 and 2020. All patients underwent surgical exploration after CT imaging. Overall, 134 patients (52 female patients, 38.8%) with a mean age of 69.2 ± 12.4 years were included into the present analysis. For all patients, the preoperative CT was used to calculate the contrast media enhancement of the adrenal glands and the spleen. RESULTS: A total of 27 patients (18.5%) died within the first 24 h and over the following 30-day 94 patients (68.6%) died. There were statistically significant differences regarding the mean values for adrenal-to-spleen ratio for 24-h mortality (p = 0.001) and 30-day mortality (p = 0.004), whereas the radiodensity of the inferior vena cava and the radiodensity of the spleen was statistically significant between survivors and non-survivors after 30 days (p = 0.037 and p = 0.028, respectively). In Cox regression analysis, mean adrenal radiodensity was associated with 24-h mortality (HR 1.09, 95% CI 1.02-1.16, p = 0.01) but not with 30-day mortality (HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.99-1.07, p = 0.13). CONCLUSION: The contrast media enhancement of the adrenal gland is associated with the 24-h and 30-day mortality in patients with AMI. However, the prognostic relevance for translation into clinical routine needs to be validated in other cohorts.

INTRODUCTION: Clinical practice guidelines have recommended an endovascular-first approach (ENDO) for the management of patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI), whereas an open mesenteric bypass (OMB) is proposed for subjects deemed to be poor ENDO candidates. However, the impact of a previous failed endovascular or open mesenteric reconstruction on a subsequent OMB is unknown. Accordingly, this study was designed to examine the results of a remedial OMB (R-OMB) after a failed ENDO or a primary OMB (P-OMB) for patients with recurrent CMI. METHODS: All patients who underwent an OMB from 2002 to 2022 at the University of Florida were reviewed. Outcomes after an R-OMB (ie, history of a failed ENDO or P-OMB) and P-OMB were compared. The primary end point was 30-day mortality, whereas secondary outcomes included complications, reintervention, and survival. The Kaplan-Meier methodology was used to estimate freedom from reintervention and all-cause mortality, whereas multivariable Cox proportional hazards modeling identified predictors of death. RESULTS: A total of 145 OMB procedures (R-OMB, n = 48 [33%]; P-OMB, n = 97 [67%]) were analyzed. A majority of R-OMB operations were performed for a failed stent (prior ENDO, n = 39 [81%]; prior OMB, n = 9 [19%]). R-OMB patients were generally younger (66 ± 9 years vs P-OMB, 69 ± 11 years; P = .09) and had lower incidence of smoking exposure (29% vs P-OMB, 48%; P = .07); however, there were no other differences in demographics or comorbidities. R-OMB was associated with less intraoperative transfusion (0.6 units vs P-OMB, 1.4 units; P = .01), but there were no differences in conduit choice or bypass configuration.The overall 30-day mortality and complication rates were 7% (n = 10/145) and 53% (n = 77/145), respectively, with no difference between the groups. Notably, R-OMB had decreased cardiac (6% vs P-OMB, 21%; P < .01) and bleeding complication rates (2% vs P-OMB, 15%; P = .01). The freedom from reintervention (1 and 5 years: R-OMB: 95% ± 4%, 83% ± 9% vs P-OMB: 97% ± 2%, 93% ± 5%, respectively; log-rank P = .21) and survival (1 and 5 years: R-OMB: 82% ± 6%, 68% ± 9% vs P-OMB: 84% ± 4%, 66% ± 7%; P = .91) were similar. Independent predictors of all-cause mortality included new postoperative hemodialysis requirement (hazard ratio [HR], 7.4, 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.1-17.3; P < .001), pulmonary (HR, 2.7, 95% CI, 1.4-5.3; P = .004) and cardiac (HR, 2.4, 95% CI, 1.1-5.1; P = .04) complications, and female sex (HR, 2.1, 95% CI, 1.03-4.8; P = .04). Notably, R-OMB was not a predictor of death. CONCLUSIONS: The perioperative and longer-term outcomes for a remedial OMB after a failed intraluminal stent or previous open bypass appear to be comparable to a P-OMB. These findings support the recently updated clinical practice guideline recommendations for an endovascular-first approach to treating recurrent CMI due to the significant perioperative complication risk of OMB. However, among the subset of patients deemed ineligible for endoluminal reconstruction after failed mesenteric revascularization, R-OMB results appear to be acceptable and highlight the utility of this strategy in selected patients.

BACKGROUND: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a disease with high mortality and requires a multidisciplinary approach for effective management. A pathway and care bundle were developed and implemented with the objective to reduce mortality. The aim of this retrospective comparative study was to analyze the effects of the pathway on patient management and outcome. METHODS: All consecutive patients operated in a secondary and tertiary referral center because of occlusive arterial AMI were identified between 2014 and April 2020. The pathway aimed to increase overall awareness, and hasten and improve diagnostics and management. Patients treated before implementation of the pathway (pregroup, years 2014-2017) were compared with patients treated using the pathway (postgroup, May 2018 to April 2020). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to compare the groups. RESULTS: There were 78 patients in the pregroup and 67 patients in the postgroup with comparable baseline characteristics and disease acuity. The postgroup was more often diagnosed with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (58 [74%] vs. 63 [94%], p = 0.001) and had shorter mean in-hospital delay to operating room (7 hours [interquartile range, 3.5-12.5] vs. 3 hours [interquartile range, 2-11], p = 0.023). Revascularization was done more often in the postgroup (53 [68%] vs. 56 [84%], p = 0.030) especially using endovascular treatment (26 [33%] vs. 43 [64%], p < 0.001). Thirty-day mortality was lower in the postgroup (23 [51%] vs. 17 [25%], p = 0.001). Being managed in the postgroup remained as a protective factor (odds ratio, 0.32; 95% confidence interval, 0.14-0.75; p = 0.008) for 30-day mortality in the multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: Implementing a pathway and care bundle resulted in enhanced regional and in-hospital awareness of AMI, more appropriate computed tomography imaging, shorter in-hospital delays, increased number of revascularizations, and, hence, lower mortality. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic/Care Management, level IV.

Over the decades, it has been well established that malperfusion complicates a number of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) patients. Of the many complications that arise from ATAAD is malperfusion, which is the result of true lumen compression secondary to the dissection, and it is one of the most dangerous complications. Left untreated, malperfusion can eventually compromise circulation to the vascular beds of almost all vital organs. Clinicians must consider the diagnosis of malperfusion promptly following a diagnosis of acute aortic dissection. The outcomes post-surgery for patients with ATAAD with concomitant malperfusion remains poor, despite mortality for aortic surgery improving over time. Optimal management for ATAAD with associated malperfusion has yet to be implemented, further research is warranted to improve the detection and management of this potentially fatal pathology. In this review, we explore the literature surrounding the complications of malperfusion in ATAAD and the various symptom presentations, investigations, and management strategies available.

OBJECTIVE: To report the intra-operative adverse events (IOAEs) and the initial and one year outcomes of retrograde open mesenteric stenting (ROMS) using balloon expandable covered stents for acute and chronic mesenteric ischaemia. METHODS: Clinical data and outcomes of all consecutive patients treated with ROMS for acute and chronic mesenteric ischaemia at an intestinal stroke centre between November 2012 and September 2019 were reviewed. ROMS was performed using balloon expandable covered stents. Endpoints included IOAEs, in hospital mortality, post-operative complications, and re-interventions. One year overall survival, freedom from re-intervention, primary patency and assisted primary patency rates were analysed using the Kaplan-Meier time to event method. RESULTS: During the study period, 379 patients were referred to the centre for acute or chronic mesenteric ischaemia. Thirty-seven patients who underwent the ROMS procedure were included. All the patients had severe atherosclerotic mesenteric lesions. The ROMS technical success rate was 89% in this cohort. The rate of IOAEs was 19% and included four cases of retrograde recanalisation failure. All ROMS failures occurred in patients presenting with flush superior mesenteric artery occlusion and they were treated by mesenteric bypass. Ten patients (27%) underwent bowel resection, four of which resulted in a short bowel syndrome (11%). The in hospital mortality rate was 27%. Post-operative complications and re-intervention rates were 67% (n = 25) and 32% (n = 12), respectively. The median follow up was 20.2 months (interquartile range 29). The estimated one year overall survival for the cohort was 70.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] 52.5% - 82.2%). The estimated freedom from re-intervention at one year was 61.1% (95% CI 42.3 - 75.4). The one year primary patency and assisted primary patency rates were 84.54% (95% CI 63.34 - 94) and 92.4% (95% CI 72.8 - 98), respectively. CONCLUSION: ROMS procedures offer acceptable one year outcomes for mesenteric ischaemia but are associated with frequent stent related complications. Precise pre-operative planning, high quality imaging, and meticulous stent placement techniques may limit the occurrence of such events.

The study is aimed at assessing whether the early surgical intervention improves survival in acute mesenteric ischemia with septic shock. A retrospective study design was applied to review the charts of patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The data were collected through a review of the full patient chart including physician and nursing notes, pathology reports, intraoperative findings, CT findings, and endoscopy. The diagnosis of AMI for each patient was determined through clinical presentation/endoscopic visualization/laboratory results/radiographic imaging, surgical exam (tissue or visual) and/or autopsy. Death and survival were evaluated between short and long-time-interval for septic shock groups using the chi-square test followed by calculating the P value. Total survival among the surgery group was 60 patients (95.24%) compared to 3 (4.76%) survival among patients who did not have surgery. The time from the onset of a shock to the time of surgical incision was calculated. The mean time to surgery was 17.7 hours. Total 65 patients (29.52%) had surgery between 4 and 12 hours from the onset of hypotension. Survivals among this group of patients were 41.7% (n = 25). The survival difference was statistically significant than died patients with respect to the time of surgical intervention (P = <0.001). Early removal of ischemic bowel in patients with AII-related surgery has improved survival.

OBJECTIVE: Significant physiologic perturbations can occur in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) undergoing open mesenteric bypass (OMB). These events have frequently been attributed to ischemia-reperfusion events and have been directly implicated in the occurrence of multiple organ dysfunction (MOD). Scoring systems (MOD score [MODS] and sequential organ failure assessment [SOFA]) have been derived within the critical care field to provide a composite metric for these pathophysiologic changes. The purpose of the present study was to describe the early pathophysiologic changes that occur after OMB for CMI and determine whether these are predictive of the outcomes. METHODS: Patients with CMI who had undergone elective OMB from 2002 to 2018 at a single institution were reviewed. Changes in the hemodynamic, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, and hematologic parameters in the first 96 hours postoperatively were analyzed. The MODSs and SOFA scores were calculated. Cox regression was used to determine the association of the MODSs and SOFA scores with the outcomes. RESULTS: The use of OMB was analyzed for 72 patients (age, 66 ± 11 years; 68% women; body mass index, 23.8 ± 6 kg/m2; 48 ± 34-lb weight loss in 59%). Previous mesenteric stent placement or bypass had been performed in 39% [stenting in 21; bypass in 8; (one patient had both)]. An antegrade configuration (93%) was most common (retrograde configuration, 7%), with revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery/celiac vessels in 85% (superior mesenteric artery only in 15%). Postoperative pathophysiologic and metabolic changes were common, and the mean MODSs and SOFA scores were 3.6 ± 2.4 (range, 1-10) and 4.0 ± 2.7 (range, 1-13), respectively. The median length of stay was 14 days (interquartile range, 9-21). The 30-day mortality was 4% (n = 3) and in-hospital morbidity was 53% (n = 38; gastrointestinal, 25%; infectious, 22%; cardiac, 18%; pulmonary, 18%; renal, 11%). The clinical follow-up period was 16 ± 20 months. The MODSs and SOFA scores correlated linearly with overall mortality (MODS: odds ratio [OR], 1.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-1.7; P < .01; SOFA score: OR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.2-1.7; P < .01 per unit), with a score of ≥5 the inflection point most predictive of mortality (MODS: OR, 3.9; 95% CI, 1.6-9.9; P ≤ .01; SOFA score: OR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.2-6.6; P = .02). The 1- and 3-year primary bypass patency and freedom from reintervention was 91% ± 5% and 83% ± 7%, respectively, with no association with the MODSs or SOFA scores. The 1- and 3-year survival was 86% ± 4% and 71% ± 6% with significantly worse outcomes for patients with higher MODSs and/or SOFA scores. CONCLUSIONS: Most CMI patients undergoing OMB will experience significant metabolic derangements resulting from sequelae of the ischemia-reperfusion phenomenon postoperatively. These can be objectively assessed in the early postoperative period using simply applied scoring systems to reliably predict the early and long-term outcomes.

OBJECTIVES: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a life-threatening condition associated with dismal outcomes. This study sought to evaluate the evolution of presentation, treatment, and outcomes of AMI over the past two decades. METHODS: AMI patients presenting at a single institution were reviewed (1993-2016). Venous thrombosis patients were excluded. Primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Patients were stratified by etiology and diagnosis date (before 2004 versus 2004 and later). Ordered logistic regression was performed for longitudinal temporal analysis. RESULTS: 303 patients were identified. AMI mechanisms included: embolic (49%), thrombotic (29%), and non-occlusive (NOMI) (22%). The majority were women (55%), 50% had atrial fibrillation, and 23% were on anticoagulation (AC) therapy. Mean age was 72±13 years. 345 procedures were performed in 242 patients: 321 open and 24 hybrid/endovascular. Among the 189 embolic/thrombotic patients who were managed operatively, 45% (n=85) underwent mesenteric revascularization while 39 (21%) had findings of non-survivable bowel necrosis (NSBN). Among the 104 patients who did not undergo revascularization, 64 (62%) died within 30-days compared to 36 out of 85 (42%) patients who were revascularized (P=0.01). 30-day mortality was 61% and stable over time (P=0.91); when stratified by AMI etiology, the thrombotic cohort had worse survival than embolic and NOMI patients (P=0.04). Since 2000, there was a significant decrease in the percentage of embolic AMI events (P=0.04). The percentage of patients who underwent operative management decreased also over time (P=0.01, 81%â¯ââ¯61%), which was correlated with an increasing number of patients being made comfort measures only (CMO) prior to surgical intervention (50%â¯ââ¯70%, P=0.02). The majority of patients (55%) were ultimately made CMO during their hospitalization. Predictors of 30-day mortality included a preoperative white blood cell count (WBC) ≥ 25 K/ µL. (OR 3.0, P=0.002) and lactate ≥ 2.3 mmol/L (OR 2.8, P=0.045). NSBN predictors included WBC ≥ 24 K/ µL. (OR 3.4 P=0.03) and lactate ≥ 3.8 mmol/L (OR 3.6, P=0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Despite advances in critical care over the past 25 years, AMI continues to be associated with poor prognosis. The survival benefit observed in patients who undergo revascularization supports an aggressive approach towards early vascular intervention, although this requires further study. The importance of early diagnosis, prognostication and advanced directives is highlighted given the high morbidity, mortality and use of comfort measures associated with AMI.

OBJECTIVE: Despite the continuing controversy of covered stents (CS) vs bare metal stents, the use of CS in mesenteric occlusive disease (MOD) has been recommended by expert centers. The aim of this study was to report midterm results with CS of the superior mesenteric artery. METHODS: Between January 2014 and October 2019, patients with MOD with a severe atheromatous stenosis or occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery treated by mesenteric CS were included. Clinical presentation included both acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI), chronic mesenteric ischemia, and asymptomatic patients planned for major surgery. Demographics, procedure details, and follow-up data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed. Study end points included primary patency, primary assisted patency, and secondary patency. RESULTS: During the study period, 86 patients (mean age, 70 ± 9 years; 57% males) were included. Clinical presentation was AMI (n = 42 [49%]), chronic mesenteric ischemia (n = 31 [36%]), and asymptomatic (n = 13 [15%]). The technical success rate was 97%. A total of 96 stents were implanted, including 86 proximal CS (Advanta V12, n = 73; Lifestream, n = 13). The mean length and mean diameter of the CS were 31.5 ± 6.3 mm and 6.9 ± 0.5 mm, respectively. Additional distal bare metal stents were used in 10 patients (12%) to overcome a kinking (n = 9) or a dissection (n = 1) downstream of the CS. All postoperative deaths occurred in patients with AMI (n = 11, 13%). During a median follow-up of 15.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 15.6 ± 3.6 months), 12 patients (14%) underwent reinterventions for either stent misplacement (n = 3), stent recoil (n = 3), stent thrombosis (n = 2), de novo stenosis at the distal edge of the CS (n = 2), or gastric ischemia (n = 1). At 1 year, overall the primary patency, primary assisted patency, and secondary patency rates were 83% (95% CI, 83% ± 9%), 99% (95% CI, 99% ± 3%), and 99% (95% CI, 99% ± 3%), respectively. At 2 years, the overall primary patency, primary assisted patency, and secondary patency rates were 76% (95% CI, 76% ± 13%), 95% (95% CI, 95% ± 8%) and 95% (95% CI, 95% ± 8%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Mesenteric CS provide very satisfactory midterm results in patients with MOD, with an excellent primary assisted patency rate at 2 years, at the price of a significant reintervention rate.

OBJECTIVE: Venous mesenteric ischemia (VMI) presents with variable severity resulting in a spectrum of outcomes. This study sought to characterize the natural history of VMI and identify drivers of intervention and adverse outcomes. METHODS: All patients who presented to our institution with acute and subacute VMI between 1993 and 2016 were identified. Images were reviewed to determine thrombosis location and charts were reviewed to identify clinical factors and outcomes. Univariate analysis was performed for demographics, comorbidities, and presenting characteristics, with primary outcomes of intervention, readmission, and 30-day mortality. A survival analysis was performed with log-rank difference testing for demographics, comorbidities, and presenting characteristics. RESULTS: We identified 103 patients with acute and subacute VMI. The locations of the thrombosis included the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) (31.1%); SMV and portal vein (35.9%); SMV, portal, and splenic veins (15.5%); and other combinations of portomesenteric veins (17.4%), without correlation between the location and outcomes. Most patients were male (60.6%), 22.3% were actively smoking, and the median Charlson comorbidity score was 4 (interquartile range, 2-7). The mean patient age was 61.3 years. More than one-half had a known hypercoagulability (52.4%), 22.3% had prior bowel resection, and 8.7% had prior mesenteric venous intervention, including transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedures. Thirty-five patients underwent 83 procedures during their hospitalization, and 23 patients underwent surgical intervention specifically. Prior mesenteric venous procedure, abdominal tenderness, and lactatemia of more than 1.5 mmol/L were associated with an increased need for surgical intervention (P < .05). Patients with leukocytosis of greater than 10K/µL had increased surgical intervention (P = .10), although without statistical significance. However, symptoms for less than 2 weeks (P < .05) were associated with decreased surgical intervention. The 30-day mortality was low in this cohort (6.8%), but was increased in patients requiring intervention (11.4%). For those undergoing procedures, a shorter time to intervention was associated with an improved 30-day mortality (8.7% for procedures on hospital days 0-1 vs 16.7% for hospital day 2 or later; P = .01). Abdominal tenderness and lactatemia were associated with increased 30-day mortality (6.8% vs 3.6% [P < .01] and 16.0% vs 3.8% [P = .03], respectively). A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed a median survival of 7.1 years, with a 1-year survival rate of 74.9%, a 3-year survival rate of 67.1%, and a 5-year survival rate of 57.9%. Negative predictors of survival included a higher Charlson comorbidity index (hazard ratio, 3.7; P < .01) and malignancy (hazard ratio, 3.1; P < .01). CONCLUSIONS: The 30-day mortality of VMT is low, but more than one-third of patients required an intervention beyond anticoagulation. Comorbidity, a prior mesenteric vessel or intestinal operation, and presentation with tenderness or relevant laboratory abnormalities portend worse outcomes. Early intervention is associated with improved outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: Endovascular treatment of chronic mesenteric ischaemia (CMI) is linked to low early morbidity and mortality but a higher risk of recurrence than open repair. Mid and long term outcomes after endovascular treatment remain to be proven in larger series. The aim of this study was to assess short and mid term outcome after first line endovascular revascularisation of CMI and acute on chronic mesenteric ischaemia (AoCMI). METHODS: This was a prospective population and registry based cohort study supplemented by a retrospective review of medical records and imaging files. A national cohort was created based on data extracted from the Danish National Registry for Vascular Surgery (Karbase) for all patients treated endovascularly for CMI or AoCMI between 2011 and 2015 in Denmark. Survival data, bowel resection, complications, re-intervention rate, and improvement of clinical symptoms were analysed, as were potential risk factors. RESULTS: In total, 245 patients had an endovascular intervention for CMI (n = 178; 72.6%) and AoCMI (n = 67; 27.3%). One and three year survival estimates were 85% (95% confidence interval [CI] 79 - 90) and 74% (95% CI 67 - 80) in the CMI-group, and 67% (95% CI 54 - 77) and 54% (95% CI 41 - 65) in the AoCMI group. The hazard ratio for death was 1.89 (95% CI 1.23 - 2.9) for AoCMI, relative to patients with CMI. Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) stenosis, rather then occlusion, significantly increased the success of SMA recanalisation: OR 19.4 (95% CI 6.2 - 61.4) and 9.3 (95% CI 1.6 - 53.6) in the CMI and AoCMI groups, respectively. The proportion of patients reporting clinical improvement was 71% (n = 127) in the CMI group and 59% (n = 39) in the AoCMI group. Five patients (3%) in the CMI and 30 (45%) in the AoCMI groups underwent bowel resection (p < .001), and the overall length of hospital stay (LoS) was a median of two days (interquartile range [IQR] 1 - 3 days) in the CMI group and seven days (IQR 3 - 23 days) in the AoCMI group. Within the first year, re-intervention was performed in 14 patients (5.7%). CONCLUSION: First line endovascular treatment of CMI carries a three year mortality rate of 25%, and low risk of re-occurrence of symptomatic ischaemia. Relative to CMI, patients suffering AoCMI have significantly higher morbidity and mortality, more bowel resections, and longer LoS.

ABSTRACT: Several large-scale studies have assessed the endovascular and surgical treatments for nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI); nonetheless, the prognostic factors for NOMI remain unclear.In this single-center study, we retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of 197, 149 patients were retrieved from the inpatient database of our hospital from January 2011 to January 2020; 79 patients with NOMI were observed. A total of 44 patients who underwent laparotomy were statistically analyzed and divided into the survivor and non-survivor groups. Prognostic factors were compared between the 2 groups. Exploratory laparotomy based on a second-look surgery was the first treatment choice.The overall mortality rate was 61.3%, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.6:1. The median Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was 11.06 [5.75-17.25]. The median SOFA score was 5 [interquartile range: 3-8] in the survivor group and 14.8 [interquartile range: 10.5-19] in the non-survivor group. The log-rank test showed a significant difference in the presence of diabetes mellitus (P = .025), hypoglycemia (P = .001), SOFA score ≥10 (Pâ<â.001), hemoglobin levels ≥11âg/dL (Pâ=â.003), platelet count ≥12.9â×â104/µL (Pâ=â.01), lactate levels ≥2.6âmmol/L (Pâ=â.005), and base excess <-3.0 (P < .023). Multivariate analysis using the factors with significant differences revealed that SOFA score ≥10 (hazard ratio for death, 1.199; 95% confidence interval, 1.101-1.305; Pâ<â.001) was an independent prognostic factor.The SOFA score can be used to assess disease severity. A SOFA score of ≥10 may be associated with increased mortality.

BACKGROUND: Vascular calcifications have been identified as predictors of mortality in several cardiovascular diseases but have not been investigated in context of acute mesenteric ischemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of vascular calcifications in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia. METHODS: Patients admitted for an acute mesenteric ischemia were retrospectively included. The presence of calcifications in the visceral aorta, the celiac trunk, the superior mesenteric artery, and the renal arteries was assessed on computed tomography scan images at the arterial phase. The calcification volumes were measured using the software Aquarius iNtuition Edition®. RESULTS: The all-cause mortality was 55 out of 86 patients (63.9%) for a median follow-up of 3.5 days (1-243). The survival rate of patients with calcification in the superior mesenteric artery was significantly lower than that of those without calcification (22% vs. 55.6%, P = 0.019). Patients who died had significantly a higher frequency of calcifications in the superior mesenteric artery, the visceral aorta, the celiac trunk, and the renal arteries. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of vascular calcifications in the superior mesenteric artery is associated with increased mortality in patients diagnosed with acute mesenteric ischemia. Further studies are required to identify the mechanisms underlying this association.

OBJECTIVES: Mesenteric vascular disease carries a high risk of mortality and morbidity; however, due to obscure clinical presentation, it can be under-recognized. Currently, epidemiology of mesenteric vascular disease remains poorly defined. The aim of this study is to analyze changes in Scottish mortality rates from mesenteric vascular disease overtime. METHODS: This is a retrospective, longitudinal population-based cohort study using data extracted from death certificates and Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation. All deaths related to a vascular disorder of the intestines recorded as an underlying cause of death between 1979 and 2014 were identified using International Classification of Disease-9 or International Classification of Disease-10 code groups. Data included demographics and location of death. The residence postcodes were used to classify socio-economic status using the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation. RESULTS: From 2,142,921 deaths over 36 years, 14,530 (0.7%) were due to mesenteric vascular disease with a median (interquartile range) age of 77 and a 2:1 female to male gender ratio. The mean ± standard deviation age significantly increased from 72.6 ± 12.1 in 1979 to 76.8 ± 11.1 in 2014 (p < 0.001, R2 = 0.772). Males were consistently younger than females at the time of death. The two lowest Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation categories accounted for half of the cohort, throughout the study period (p = 0.068). The adjusted death rate per 100,000 population increased from 7.6 in 1979 to 12.1 in 2014. CONCLUSIONS: The reported death rates of mesenteric vascular disease in Scotland between 1979 and 2014 have nearly doubled. Mesenteric vascular disease affects twice as many women as men and is associated with social deprivation. The increased reporting of mesenteric vascular disease is likely due to increased recognition and incidence. These implications should be considered when planning healthcare provision in Scotland.

Mortality rates in acute mesenteric ischemia remain at an extremely high level for many decades. Early diagnosis and selection of the optimal method of revascularization are among the ways to optimize tactics. The diagnostic study of choice is CT angiography. Its active and systemic use can help to detect ischemia at the reversible stage. The article examines in detail the indications for the application of this diagnostic study. The question of preference for the revascularization method remains debatable. The arguments of proponents of open and endovascular interventions on mesenteric vessels are presented. Other, still unresolved tactical issues are also considered, such as indications for re-operations and application of the principles of damage control tactics.
