Brief summary
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a notorious disease with a high mortality, the diagnostic and management is truly multidisciplinary, but it is not the reality in many Hospitals. The aim of this study is to analyse the results of the patients admitted with an AMI in Hospital de Mar.
Detailed description
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a notorious disease with a high mortality from 50 to 80%. Even though AMI is a relatively rare condition (1:1,000) the incidence rises exponentially with increasing age, in patients older than 75 years, the incidence of AMI has been reported higher than that of acute appendicitis. AMI patients benefit from early assessment in a surgical unit with capabilities to definitive management. The diagnosis and management of AMI are truly multidisciplinary, requiring high index of suspicion and awareness from emergency department physicians, preferably computed tomography angiography with precise interpretation. The aim of this study is to analyse the results of the patients admitted with an AMI in Hospital de Mar from January 2014 to December 2023.
