Chap 151-154 Mesenteric Flashcards
In embryology, what gives rise to the abdo aorta?
primitive dorsal artery
In embryology, what gives rise to the celiac?
10th segmental branch
In embryology, what gives rise to the SMA?
11th segmental branch
In embryology, what gives rise to the IMA?
21st segmental branch
What are the branches of the celiac?
left gastric
splenic
common hepatic
What is the most frequent anatomic variation of the celiac?
hepatic arises from SMA or directly from aorta
What are the branches of the SMA?
PDA middle colic right colic ilieocolic third order branches
What are the branches of the IMA?
sigmoidal branches left colic (becomes marginal artery)
What are SMA and IMA connections?
marginal artery
meandering artery
sigmoidal branches lead to L and R rectal arteries which collateralize with branches of hypogastric
What are SMA and IMA connections?
marginal artery meandering artery (l colic to middle colic)
How does percentage of blood flow in the bowels change with eating?
10% of CO with shock
25% at rest
35% after large meal
What do waveforms of the SMA look like during fasting and postprandial?
high arterial resistance with low diastolic flow
low-resistnace throughout both systole and diastole
What is NOMI?
Impaired intestinal perfusion in absence of thromboembolic occlusion
10% of mesenteric ischemia
What causes NOMI?
vasospams in arteries that supply mucosal and submucosal layers in SMA distribution
What are angiogrpahic findings for NOMI?
Narrowing of the origins of multiple branches of SMA Alternate dilation and narrowing of intestinal branches (string of sausages)
Spasm of mesenteric arcades
Impaired filling of the intramural vessels.
What are RF for NOMI?
low flow states hypovolemia systemic vasoconstrictirs AI CPB reperfusion injury
What is treatment for NOMI?
IA infusion of vasodilator (mort 50%)
Papverine at 30-60mg/hr
Papaverine metabolized by the liver so hypotension rarely a problem
