mesenteric ischemia,

ischemia in an area of the intestine supplied by a mesenteric artery. Two types are distinguished, occlusive and nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia. It may progress to a mesenteric infarction.

Abdominal Angina

A condition characterised by intermittent severe ischaemia, resulting in abdominal colic, beginning 15–30 mins post-prandially, lasting 1–2 hours, and appearing when 2 or all 3—superior and inferior mesenteric and celiac—major abdominal arteries have severe atherosclerosis; because the intestine’s O2 demand increases with meals, patients avoid the pain by not eating, and thus lose weight; malabsorption may occur since absorption is O2-dependent
Management Bypass, endarterectomy, vascular reimplantation, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty
