Mesenteric Ischemia: A Minimally Invasive Approach Danielle Pineda, MD April 7, 2017
Rare DiseaseAccounts for less than 2% of all hospital admissions for GI conditions-But atherosclerosis of mesenteric vessels much more prevalent (usually asymptomatic)
FOOD FEAR • Pain after meals (30 mins on average) • Weight loss • Avoiding meals Pre-operative Necessities • Endoscopy • Colonoscopy • CT scan
Technique • Femoral or brachial approach • Lateral position for C-arm • Cross atherosclerotic lesion • May need to pre-dilate with angioplasty and place sheath through stenosis • Balloon-expandable Stent versus stent graft • SMA preferential vessel although can also treat celiac/IMA in higher risk patients
Complications • Cardiac events (patients high risk secondary to atherosclerosis) • GI bleeding • Embolus/dissection leading to bowel ischemia • Access related problems (especially brachial) • Renal failure
Hybrid Approach • Midline laparotomy • Micropuncture access of the SMA • Cross stenosis/occlusion in retrograde fashion • Balloon expandable stent or stent graft • Transverse closure or patch closure
Multiple Causes • Arterial emboli • 40-50% of cases • Intracardiac mural thrombus, endocarditis, proximal thoracic aortic aneurysms • Arterial thrombosis • 20-35% of cases • Preexisting atherosclerosis – acute on chronic picture • Nonocclusive Mesenteric Ischemia • Mesenteric Venous Thrombosis
Signs and Symptoms • Pain out of proportion to exam • Pneumatosis on CT scan • Elevated WBC, lactate
Mechanical Thrombolysis • Usually reserved for high risk surgical patients if no bowel ischemia suspected • Risk of embolus to distal SMA branches could precipitate bowel ischemia • Angioplasty and Stent • Used in situations when patient has acute on chronic disease in conjunction with mechanical thrombolysis or in retrograde approach as discussed
Case 1 • 80 yo F with history of supraceliac aorta to celiac and SMA bypass • Represents with weight loss and post-prandial pain
Occluded bypass Celiac artery stenosis
