General Principles

  • Acute mesenteric ischemia results from arterial (or rarely venous) compromise to the superior mesenteric circulation.
  • Emboli and thrombus formation are the most common causes of acute mesenteric ischemia, although nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia from vasoconstriction can also give rise to the disorder.
  • Ischemic colitis results from mucosal ischemia in the inferior mesenteric circulation during a low-flow state (hypotension, arrhythmias, sepsis, aortic vascular surgery) in patients with atherosclerotic disease. Vasculitis, sickle cell disease, vasospasm, and marathon running can also predispose to ischemic colitis.
