Article Abstract
Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is a type of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) with a high mortality rate mainly because of a delayed or misdiagnosis. Intra-abdominal sepsis is one of the risk factors for developing NOMI, and its presence makes early diagnosis much more difficult. An increase in routine abdominal surgeries carries a corresponding risk of abdominal infection, which is a complication that should not be overlooked. It is critical that physicians are aware of the possibility for intestinal necrosis in abdominal sepsis patients due to the poor survival rate of NOMI. This review aims to summarize advances in the diagnosis of NOMI, and focuses on the diagnostic challenges of mesenteric ischemia in patients with intra-abdominal sepsis.

Gene therapy targeting ischemic heart disease is a promising therapeutic avenue, but it is mostly restricted to viral-based delivery approaches which are limited due to off-target immunological responses. Focused ultrasound presents a non-viral, image-guided technique in which circulating intravascular microbubble contrast agents can reversibly enhance vascular permeability and gene penetration. Here, we explore the influence of flow rate on the microbubble-assisted delivery of miR-126, a potent pro-angiogenic biologic, using a custom acoustically coupled pressurized mesenteric artery model.

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.

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is central to fibrinolysis regulation, and genetic variants such as the 4G/4G genotype predispose individuals to hypercoagulability. This case highlights a 46-year-old female patient presenting with acute mesenteric venous thrombosis, where genetic evaluation revealed homozygosity for the PAI-1 4G/4G polymorphism. Management with unfractionated heparin followed by a transition to direct oral anticoagulants led to clinical resolution.

We present a case of an 86-year-old female with chronic mesenteric ischemia secondary to long-segment flush occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and near-total occlusion of the celiac artery. The superior mesenteric artery was unable to be revascularized by conventional antegrade approaches. Successful transcollateral crossing of the occluded superior mesenteric artery and body-flossing, followed by antegrade balloon angioplasty, shockwave lithotripsy, and stent implantation were performed.

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.
