AbstractMesenteric ischemia occurs because of inadequate intestinal blood flow. Its severity depends on the vessels involved and whether collateral blood vessels are available to prevent malperfusion. Mesenteric ischemia is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain, but it is associated with high mortality and often poses a diagnostic challenge to clinicians because its symptoms are nonspecific. Early recognition and treatment are imperative to improve patient outcomes.Copyright © 2024 The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. All Rights Reserved.
