Abstract
To assess the outcome of surgical (SR) and endovascular (ER) reconstruction for chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). Retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent SR or ER for CMI in 3 UK vascular surgery units between 1996 and 2006. Early (<30 days; technical success, morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay) and late (>30 days) outcomes (symptom recurrence, vessel/graft patency, reintervention, mortality) were assessed. A total of 27 patients underwent 32 reconstructions (SR = 17, ER = 15). A total of 44 of 56 (79%) diseased arteries underwent SR (n = 26; bypass = 24, reimplantation = 2; occlusion = 16, stenosis = 10) or ER (n = 18; stenosis = 16, occlusion = 2). Perioperative mortality for SR and ER was 6% and 0%, respectively (P > or = .99). Hospital stay was shorter following ER (mean, 4.3 vs. 14.2 days, P = .0003). Mean (range) follow-up for SR and ER was 34 (1-94) and 34 (0-135) months, respectively. At 2 years, SR demonstrated superior secondary patency (100% vs. 65%) and clinical patency (100% vs. 73%). Surgical mesenteric reconstruction is associated with significantly longer hospital stay, but superior long-term outcome compared to endovascular reconstruction.
