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. This article describes the current insights into treatment of mesenteric ischemia.

We report a case of mesenteric ischemia after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for chronic type B aortic dissection performed at a different institution. Computed tomography angiography findings indicated that the previous TEVAR had been deployed distally into the false lumen. To mitigate this, a large fenestration was created between the false lumen and true lumen.

Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a progressive condition that primarily affects the elderly, causing chronic abdominal pain and malnutrition. Timely treatment is essential to prevent further deconditioning or bowel ischemia. Surgical repair options include both endovascular and open procedures.

Objective: Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and places patients at risk for subsequent peripheral vascular emboli. Our goals were to analyze the incidence of peripheral emboli and their associated complications and outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective single-center review of all patients with IE from 2013-2021 was performed.

Introduction/aim: The partial deployment technique (PDT) is an unconventional option of T-branch deployment to allow target arteries (TAs) cannulation/stenting from the upper arm access, in case of narrow (NPA: <25mm) or severely angulated (APA: >60°) aorta. Aim of this study was to report outcomes of the endovascular repair of complex aortic (c-AAAs) and thoracoabdominal (TAAAs) aneurysms by T-branch and PDT.
Methods: All consecutive patients underwent urgent endovascular repair of c-AAAs and TAAAs by T-branch (Cook-Medical, Bloomington, IN, US) and PDT from 2021 to 2023 were analyzed.

Background/objectives: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is life-threatening and difficult to diagnose in time. Unlike many cardiovascular diseases, the association between lifestyle factors such as diet, alcohol consumption, and physical activity and AMI is unknown.
Methods: This study is a prospective cohort study with 28,098 middle-aged participants with a mean follow-up time of 23.
