MESENTERIC VASCULAR OCCLUSION: A THERAPEUTIC CHALLENGE – OUR EXPERIENCE OF FIVE CASES.
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is an uncommon event and requires comprehensive clinical care to minimize the morbidities and mortality associated with the condition. SBS is a common occurrence in A M I patients who undergo massive bowel resection due to reduced intestinal absorptive surface area. We report our experience of ve patients with AMI, who presented at our surgical emergency within a period of one and half year (Aug 2015 – Dec 2016) with a follow–up of one year and their outcome so as to encourage others in managing such a challenge with more positive mindsets. A mortality rate of 20 %( 1/5) was observed. A structured clinical approach, timely surgical intervention with exteriorisation of anastomosed bowel loop and multidisciplinary post operative management are essential for managing such frail patients to achieve best possible results.
