Gastric ulcer due to mesenteric ischemia is a rare clinical finding. As a result, few reports of ischemic gastric ulcers have been reported in the literature. The diagnosis of ischemic gastropathy is seldom considered in patients presenting with abdominal pain and gastric ulcers. In this case report, we describe a patient with increasing abdominal pain, weight loss, and gastric ulcers, who underwent extensive medical evaluation and whose symptoms were resistant to medical interventions. Finally he was diagnosed with chronic mesenteric ischemia, and his clinical and endoscopic abnormalities resolved after surgical revascularization of both the superior mesenteric artery and the celiac trunk.

Aim.To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the clinical criteria for the diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischemia in elderly and senile patients with mesenteric atherosclerosis. Materials and methods.The study included 142 patients (82 men and 60 women). The median age of patients is 66.0 [62.0; 72.0] years. Results.According to MDCT atherosclerotic lesions of the abdominal aorta and its unpaired visceral branches were diagnosed in 105 (73.9%) patients. A combination of atherosclerosis of the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery with the presence of hemodynamically insignificant stenosis was revealed. Hemodynamically significant atherosclerotic narrowing of at least one mesenteric artery was present in 15% of cases. Among them, a single vascular lesion was found in 6 patients (4.2%), a combination of hemodynamically significant lesions of two arteries in 15 (11%) patients. Depending on the clinical manifestations, all patients are divided into two groups: the first group 30 (21.1%) patients with the presence of symptoms characteristic of chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). The second group consisted of 112 (78.8%) patients without a characteristic triad of symptoms. The clinical symptom complex of СMI, including postprandial abdominal pain, intestinal dysfunction and progressive weight loss, as a diagnostic criterion showed low sensitivity 13.3% and specificity 77.9%. At the same time, the sensitivity of such a clinical combination as a combination of atherosclerosis of the arteries of the lower extremities, weight loss and abdominal pain syndrome with a severity of more than 5.5 points, with respect to the detection of hemodynamically significant stenoses of two or more mesenteric arteries was sensitivity 86.7%, specificity 74.0%.

Background: Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) or mesenteric angina is a condition characterised by inadequate blood supply to bowel as a result of stenosis affecting   one or more of the three mesenteric arteries: the celiac artery (CA), the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA).Methods: Ten patients with significant lesion, treated with PTA and stenting were selected for study and were followed at 2 weeks, at 2 months then at 6 months after index procedure to see composite of symptomatic improvement, weight gain and revascularization.Results: On mesenteric angiography, significant ostial stenosis of celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery in 5 patients, 3 patients had significant ostial stenosis of celiac trunk and ostial stenosis of inferior mesenteric artery and 2 patients had significant stenosis of superior mesenteric artery. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting was done, final result was good and there was no residual stenosis and dissection. After stenting patients were stable and pain free. There were no post-operative complications. Follow up was done after 2 weeks and 2 months and then at six months. There was no postprandial abdominal pain on follow up and almost all patient had gained weight in 2 months and on 6 months of follow up, no case of repeat revascularization was recorded.Conclusions: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting to mesenteric artery is good alternative management of CMI. In present series, all cases were susses fully revascularized without residual stenosis and dissection.

Background: We report the results of our single center series of patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) to determine the role of stenting in the management of patients. Patients and methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with CMI treated endovascularly with stent revascularisation from January 2008 to January 2011.CMI diagnosis was made according to clinical symptoms, including postprandial abdominal pain, food fear, and weight loss. Additionally, the diagnosis was confirmed by duplex ultrasonography and/or computed tomography angiography and/or contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography. Results: All 45 patients presented with typical CMI symptoms: 45/45 (100 %) had postprandial pain, 31/45 (68.8 %) had a weight loss of more than 10 kilograms, and 11/45 (24.4 %) suffered from ischemic colitis combined with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. In three patients occlusion could not be crossed, therefore considered as technical failure. A total of 55 arteries were stented in the remaining 42 patients. Nineteen patients underwent SMA stenting alone, eight underwent celiac stenting, alone and three patients underwent stenting of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) alone. We performed combined stenting of the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery in ten patients, and one patient underwent a combined stenting of the celiac artery and the IMA. All three mesenteric arteries were stented in only one patient. Primary technical success was achieved in 42/45 (94.8 %) patients. Clinical symptom relief was achieved in 39/45 (86.6 %) patients with abdominal pain. Increased body weight was observed in 28/31 (90.3 %) patients with an average weight gain of 8.8 kilograms (5 - 12 kilograms), and 10/11 (90.9 %) patients recovered from ischaemic colitis/lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Conclusions: Stent revascularisation can be considered as the first-line therapy for patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia.

Treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia has evolved over the last two decades. Endovascular therapy is now the treatment of choice for patients with lesions amenable to such an approach. Open revascularization remains the standard of care but is frequently being reserved for lesions containing intraluminal thrombus or severe calcification. In most cases, celiac axis (CA) stenting is not needed since revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) alone results in symptomatic resolution. This report describes a case of a patient with chronic mesenteric ischemia and diffuse gastric ulcers found to have a common origin of the SMA and CA that was treated endovascularly using a bifurcated stent technique.

Purpose: Abdominal angina is an early clinical expression of occlusive mesenteric arterial insufficiency, a condition that requires aggressive treatment to prevent intestinal infarction. We report a case of chronic mesenteric ischemia in a young polyvascular man who had symptoms of abdominal angina. Methods and Results: An aortic angiogram revealed a significant ostial stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) associated with an occlusion of the inferior mesenteric artery. After predilation of the ostial portion of the SMA, significant residual stenosis remained. A balloon-expandable Palmaz P154 stent was deployed, restoring adequate luminal dimensions and blood flow. The patient was discharged after 2 days and remains asymptomatic at 5 months. Conclusion: Intraluminal stenting for treatment of mesenteric ischemia represents a viable alternative to surgical revascularization in selected cases.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the technical success of percutaneous retrograde revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) via the celiac artery (CA) in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). Methods We performed a retrospective review of three patients with chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the origin of SMA which were recanalized retrograde via collaterals of the CA after frustrating attempt of antegrade revascularization from the abdominal aorta in our institute between May 2019 and June 2020. Results All technical procedures of retrograde revascularization of CTOs of SMA via collaterals of the CA were successful. The clinical outcome resulted in a sustained resolution of abdominal pain in all cases. Conclusion Retrograde recanalization of SMA via collaterals from the CA seems to be a successful endovascular option for patients with CMI and a chronically occluded superior mesenteric artery when antegrade recanalization fails as far as it can be concluded from the small number of presented cases.

AbstractChronic atherosclerotic mesenteric ischemia is a debilitating disorder. It may cause postprandial abdominal pain leading to severe weight loss. Patients are usually emotionally affected with major depression. The disease can be treated with open surgical and endovascular techniques and both methods have individual risks and benefits. In this report, the authors present anatomical revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery and the celiac trunk.

Abstract We describe the case of a 63-year-old woman with chronic mesenteric ischemia, persistent postprandial upper abdominal pain and progressive weight loss. Retrograde recanalization was performed via the superior mesenteric artery in order to achieve the goal of crossing the near-occlusion, showing that retrograde catheterization of the celiac trunk can be a feasible approach in challenging cases in which an antegrade approach fails as a single maneuver.
