Intestinal ischemia after a single intravenous injection of deslanoside. A case report.
Nonocclusive intestinal ischemia is closely associated with heart disease and digitalization. Animal experiments and indirect evidence in man suggest that digitalis significantly decrease splanchnic blood flow. A case is described where peroperative intravenous digitalis caused profound intestinal ischemia. The report constitutes the first direct observation relating heart glycosides with intestinal ischemia in man.
