Objective: There is an urgent need for accurate biomarkers to support timely diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) and thereby improve clinical outcomes. With this systematic review, the aim was to substantiate the potential diagnostic value of biomarkers for arterial occlusive AMI.
Data Sources: The Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library electronic databases were searched.
Systematic Review of the Efficacy of Treatment for Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome.
Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg
December 2022
Article Synopsis
- The study reviews treatment outcomes for median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), questioning its existence and treatment efficacy through a systematic analysis of previous research.
- The review included 38 studies on adults and 6 on children, finding that over 70% of patients experienced symptom relief post-treatment, although many studies showed a high risk of bias in their findings.
- The conclusion emphasizes the need for improved reporting standards to better understand and treat MALS, despite the promising relief observed in patients.
Mesenteric vascular treatment 2016: from open surgical repair to endovascular revascularization.
Best Pract Res Clin Gastroenterol
February 2017
The rise of endovascular techniques has improved the outcome of mesenteric ischemia. Key principle in reduction of morbidity and mortality is "revascularization first, resection later". We believe that mesenteric ischemia is a clinical challenge demanding 24/7 multidisciplinary team availability.

Background: Studies that compared open surgical mesenteric artery repair (OSMAR) with percutaneous mesenteric artery stenting (PMAS) in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) are based on merely older studies in which only a minority of patients received PMAS. This does not reflect the current PMAS-first choice treatment paradigm. This article focused on the present opinions and changes in outcomes of OSMAR for CMI in the era of preferred use of PMAS.

Percutaneous mesenteric artery stenting (PMAS) is the preferred treatment of patients with AMI but is not always feasible. Retrograde open mesenteric stenting (ROMS) is a hybrid technique that combines the advantages of open surgical and endovascular approaches.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Methods: All patients who had undergone a carotid intervention for significant symptomatic carotid stenosis from 2001 to 2011 were included.
