[Early diagnosis in acute mesenteric ischemia. Case series and clinical review].

The AA report on 12 cases of intestinal infarction for acute mesenteric ischemia (IMA) in critical patients observed in the last 2 years. In this work some clinical data, blood tests and strumental considerations are described. IMA is a vascular emergency with severe prognosis and high rate morbidity and mortality, often correlated to a diagnostic delay.

[Acute mesenteric ischemia. Principles of treatment and surgical approach].

The AA report some considerations on the treatment and surgical approach during acute mesenteric ischemia (IMA) focusing some indications for a timely and suitable therapeutic approach. In the last 2 years, they treated 12 cases of IMA in critical patients. Early identification allows avoiding advanced phases of the intestinal infarct/bowel necrosis; in this phase the multidisciplinary approach for the hemodynamic stabilization is a priority, together with rianimatory support and surgery operation.
