Overview
Acute mesenteric ischemia can be grossly divided into three main pathologies, each of which have different risk factors.
Risk Factors
Occlusive Arterial Acute Mesenteric Ischemia
- Atherosclerosis
- Atrial fibrillation
- Coronary artery disease
- Heart failure[1]
- Hypertension[2]
- Infection[3]
- Trauma[1]
Occlusive venous Acute Mesenteric Ischemia
Inherited Hypercoagulable State
- Factor V Laden
- Prothrombin gene mutation
- Antithrombin III deficiency
- Protein C deficiency
- Protein S deficiency[1]
Acquired Hepercoagulable State
- Malignancy
- Pancreatic cancer
- Pancreatitis
- Paraneoplasia[1]
Non Occlusive Accute Mesenteric Ischemia
- Heart disease
- Digitalis
- Long term hemodialysis[1]
