Q

What is treatment for NOMI?

A

IA infusion of vasodilator (mort 50%)
Papverine at 30-60mg/hr
Papaverine metabolized by the liver so hypotension rarely a problem

Q

What are celiac-sma collaterals?

A

GDA-PDA

19
Q

What are IMA-internal collaterals?

A

hemorrhoidals to internal iliac

20
Q

What are causes of visceral vessel disease?

A
Atherosclerosis most common
Fibromuscular disease
Dissection, 
neurofibromatosis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Takayasu arteritis
Giant cell arteritis
Polarteritis nodosa
Radiation injury
Systemic lupus
Buegers disease
Drugs like cocaine
Median arcuate ligament syndrome
21
Q

What is natural history of visceral vessel stenosis?

A

1/3 devel mesenteric schema within 3 years

largely asympto until at least two vessels with critical stenosis

22
Q

What is clinical presentation for CMI?

A

Food aversion
Postprandial pain 30 mins after a meal persisting for 5-6hours
Midabdo in location and crampy or dull
WL

23
Q

What velocities on duplex suggest stenosis?

A

> 70%
ESV SMA >275
ESV celiac >200

> 50%
SMA EDV>45
celiac EDV >55 or reversal hepatic flow

24
Q

What are other diagnostic test?

A

CTA/MRA

gastric tonometry

25
Q

What are positive result of gastric tonometry for CMI?

A

Reduced CO2 washout from ischemic tissue cause PCO2 to rise

26
Q

What are positive result of gastric tonometry for CMI?

A

Reduced CO2 washout from ischemic tissue cause PCO2 to rise

27
Q

What are indication for revasc for CMI?

A

symptoms
some suggest 3 VD
during aortic reconstruction

28
Q

What is advantages of endovascular?

A

likley shorter hospital stays, reduced M&M

probably less long-term patency

29
Q

What are open bypass strategies?

A

supracelia (tunnel retropancreatic, ant to L renal

retrograde from infrarenal aorta or CIA (right lays better)

30
Q
What are the results of open vs endo
symptom relief?
survival?
M&M?
restenosis rate?
A

same 90% for both
60% 5 year survival
endo lower M&M
endo higher restenosis

31
Q

What are open bypass strategies?

A

supracelia (tunnel retropancreatic, ant to L renal

retrograde from infrarenal aorta or CIA (right lays better)

32
Q

What is median arcuate ligament syndrome?

A

Fibrous edge of diaphragmatic crura croseses ant to aorta and above celiac and compresses celiac

33
Q

What is treatment for MALS?

A

division of crura with endo possibly

34
Q

What are features of embolism in acute mesenteric ischemia?

A

50% of cases
50% lodge distal to middle colic
25% are thrombosis on top of chronic disease

35
Q

What are features of AMI on X-ray?

A

Thumbprinting in advanced cases of ischemia (pneumatosis)

36
Q

What are features of AMI on CT?

A
Pneumatosis
Vessel occlusion
Hepatic venous air
Lack of bowel wall enhancement
Free ait
Solid organ infarct
Mucosal enhacement
Ascites
37
Q

What are techniques to examine the bowel intra-operatively?

A
visible/palpable pulsation in arcade
doopler signals in the arcade
color and appearance of the bowel serosa
peristalsis
bleeding from cut surfaces
fluorescein 
perfusion fluorometer  
laser Doppler flowmeter
38

Q

What does bowel look like on inspection?

A

limited segment of intestinal schema with edema and reddish discolouration
small bowel and mesentery

41
Q

What are treatment options?

A

if no peritonitis then AC with heparin

if peritonitis or bleeding, the ex lap, bowel resection

42
