Overview
The guidelines for diagnosing mesenteric ischemia state that in persons who have a history of cardiovascular disease, the development of acute abdominal pain with pain out of proportion to physical examination, should lead to a suspected diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia. Patients should also be suspected as to having mesenteric ischemia if they develop acute abdominal pain after an arterial intervention with catheters that traverse the aorta, or after a myocardial infarction. Duplex ultrasonography is not an appropriate diagnostic tool for suspected intestinal ischemia.
Guidelines for Diagnosis
Management of Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease (Compilation of 2005 and 2011 ACCF/AHA Guideline Recommendations) : A Report of the American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines[1]
Acute Intestinal Ischemia (DO NOT EDIT)[2]
| Class I |
| "1. Patients with acute abdominal pain out of proportion to physical findings and who have a history of cardiovascular disease should be suspected of having acute intestinal ischemia. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| "2. Patients who develop acute abdominal pain after arterial interventions in which catheters traverse the visceral aorta or any proximal arteries or who have arrhythmias (such as atrial fibrillation) or recent MI should be suspected of having acute intestinal ischemia. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| Class III |
| "1. In contrast to chronic intestinal ischemia, duplex sonography of the abdomen is not an appropriate diagnostic tool for suspected acute intestinal ischemia. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
Acute Nonocclusive Intestinal Ischemia (DO NOT EDIT)[2]
| Class I |
| "1. Arteriography is indicated in patients suspected of having nonocclusive intestinal ischemia whose condition does not improve rapidly with treatment of their underlying disease. (Level of Evidence: B) " |
Chronic Intestinal Ischemia (DO NOT EDIT)[2]
| Class I |
| "1. Chronic intestinal ischemia should be suspected in patients with abdominal pain and weight loss without other explanation, especially those with cardiovascular disease. (Level of Evidence: B) " |
| "2. Duplex ultrasound, CTA, and gadolinium-enhanced MRA are useful initial tests for supporting the clinical diagnosis of chronic intestinal ischemia. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| "3. Diagnostic angiography, including lateral aortography, should be obtained in patients suspected of having chronic intestinal ischemia for whom noninvasive imaging is unavailable or indeterminate. (Level of Evidence: B) " |
