Mesenteric ischemia

Isquemia mesentérica

Mesenteric ischemia is a significant challenge for clinicians because of its high incidence and serious consequences. The pathophysiologic consequences which rapidly involve the entire organ system make its early diagnosis not only a challenge but the key to successful management. This review intends to thoroughly describe the splanchnic circulation and reviews mayor diagnostic and management strategies.
