Abstract
Acute Mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a severe and commonly underreported disease that has an annual incidence of 0.09-0.2% per patient year [1]. However some studies have shown an increased incidence of AMI after performing an exhaustive analysis of 402 autopsies and surgeries (1970-1982 Malmo, Sweden) [2]. All mesenteric ischemia (MI) has and incidence of 12.9 cases of MI/10000 inhabitants/year, 67% thromboembolic SMA occlusion, 16% mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT), 15% non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) and 2% have indeterminate cause [3]. We present a patient with SMA treated satisfactorily with a new thromboaspiration system.

Acute Mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a severe and commonly underreported disease that has an annual incidence of 0.090.2% per patient year [1]
We present an 89-year-old male patient who was admitted to the emergency room with severe abdominal pain associated with diarrhea
The study performed by Eslami et al included a total of 42,154 patients (U.S study 2003-2011), in which they compared open surgery group (OSG) versus endovascular group (EVG); the study reported significantly higher mortality rates and small bowel resections for the OSG (21,9% versus 15,3% and 14,9% versus 9%, respectively) [5]
