Classification

• Based on the duration of symptoms, mesenteric ischemia may be classified as either acute or chronic.
  • Acute mesenteric ischemia
  • Chronic mesenteric ischemia

• Acute mesenteric ischemia is further classifed into occlusive and non-occlusive subtypes, with the former having three more subclasses.
• Occlusive mesenteric ischemia:
  • Mesenteric arterial embolism
  • Mesenteric arterial thrombosis
  • Mesenteric venous thrombosis

• Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia
