Abstract

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a life-threatening vascular disease which often requires emergent surgical treatment. Early diagnosis and immediate intervention to adequately restore the mesenteric blood flow are mandatory to prevent bowel necrosis and patient death. The underlying cause is varied and the prognosis depends on pathologic findings [1, 2].
