Non-Occlusive Mesenteric Ischemia in Aortic Surgery: What You Need to Know.
Ann Vasc Surg
January 2025
Institute of Cardiac and Aortic Disorders, SRM Institutes for Medical Science (SIMS Hospitals), Chennai, India.
Background: Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI), a subtype of acute mesenteric ischemia, is primarily caused by mesenteric arterial vasoconstriction and decreased vascular resistance, leading to impaired intestinal perfusion.Commonly observed after cardiac surgery, NOMI affects older patients with cardiovascular or systemic diseases, accounting for 20-30% of acute mesenteric ischemia cases with a mortality rate of ∼50%. This review explores NOMI's pathophysiology, clinical implications in aortic dissection, and the unmet needs in diagnosis and management, emphasizing its prognostic significance.

Int J Surg Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Kabul University of Medical Science, Maiwand Teaching Hospital, Kabul, Afghanistan. Electronic address:
Introduction And Importance: Superior mesenteric artery syndrome, or mesenteric root syndrome, is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. Delay in diagnosis may lead to significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients across several age groups.
Case Presentation: We present a 10-year-old female child who has experienced numerous acute abdominal episodes since she was six years old.
External validation of a CT score for predicting ischaemia in adhesive small-bowel obstruction.
Eur Radiol
January 2025
Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, François-Mitterrand University Hospital, Dijon, France.
Objectives: To assess the diagnostic accuracy, in a validation cohort, of a score based on three CT items, which has shown good performance for predicting ischaemia complicating acute adhesive small-bowel obstruction (SBO).
Methods: This retrospective single-centre study of diagnostic accuracy included consecutive patients admitted for acute adhesive SBO in 2015-2022, who were treated conservatively or underwent surgery within 24 h after CT. The gold standard for ischaemia was an intraoperative diagnosis for operated patients, while the absence of ischaemia was confirmed either by its absence during surgery or by clinical follow-up in patients who did not undergo surgery.
Malperfusion in Patients with Acute Type A Aortic Dissection: A Nationwide Analysis.
Ann Thorac Surg
January 2025
Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA; Leonard Davis Institute, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA; Penn Cardiovascular Outcomes, Quality, & Evaluative Research Center, Philadelphia, PA.
Background: This study describes in detail the clinical burden of malperfusion associated with acute Type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) in a large, national cohort and the effect of treatment strategy on outcomes.
Methods: All patients undergoing repair of ATAAD between 2017 and 2020 in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Adult Cardiac Surgery Database were studied. Malperfusion was defined using STS definitions based on imaging or surgeon's evaluation.
Selective Minimally Invasive Strategy for Acute Superior Mesenteric Artery Obstruction.
J Vasc Surg
January 2025
Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua University. Electronic address:
Objective: Acute mesenteric artery obstruction is a severe cause of acute mesenteric ischemia, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. However, there is limited guidance on choosing between traditional and minimally invasive techniques comprehensively. This study introduces a selective, minimally invasive strategy designed to improve the survival and prognosis of patients with acute superior mesenteric artery obstruction.
