[Acute intestinal ischemia. Review of the literature and personal experience].
The authors report the experience of their surgical department in the diagnosis and treatment of acute arterial mesenteric ischaemia. Their results are similar to those of the literature. Stress is laid on early diagnosis and interest of mesenteric angiography, laparoscopy and color flow ultrasound. Arterial revascularisation must be the surgical aim but the prognosis of acute mesenteric ischaemia remains very severe.
