Abstract
Aim:The purpose of this study was to review the effectiveness and feasibility of endovascular intervention for chronic mesenteric ischemia and its effect on morbidity and mortality. Patients and methods: Between march 2014, and October 2016, 7 patients diagnosed with chronic mesenteric ischemia had endovascular treatment. Demographic, clinical, diagnostic and procedure-related data were recorded, and strict follow up was done for 24 month postoperative. Results: Data was obtained for 7 patients who underwent endovascular procedures during the study period. Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was affected in all patients, inferior mesenteric in 3 patients (42.9%) and celiac artery was affected in 2 patients (28.6%)Technical success was achieved in 6 patients. SMA was the main target for revascularization. Technical success was achieved in 6 patients (85.7%). 24 month Primary assisted patency was 71.4%. There were no major complications, minor complications occurred in 2 patients (28.6%). Conclusion: Endovascular management of chronic mesenteric ischemia has comparable outcome to surgical solutions but with less morbidity and mortality. However strict follow up and timely secondary intervention is mandatory.
