Abstract

Acute mesenteric ischemia is associated with a high mortality rate and requires emergent evaluation and surgical management. However, patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia can undergo either surgical or endovascular revascularization. Review of recent medical literature suggests lower rates of mortality and complications after endovascular revascularization, but higher rates of primary patency after surgical revascularization. The decision regarding method of revascularization in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia should be based on the patient's vascular anatomy, comorbidities, and life expectancy.
