[Acute mesenteric ischemia].
83 patients with acute intestinal ischemia are presented. The aim of the study is to characterize anamnestic and clinical signs of this severe disease. Mainly old people with various cardiac illnesses suffer from acute intestinal ischemia. Precise anamnesis sometimes leads to the etiology of the obstruction. Clinical examination may show the extent of the disease. Angiography is mandatory for correct diagnosis. Early recognition and aggressive therapy significantly improve prognosis.
