title: Chronic mesenteric ischemia: diagnosis and treatment.
abstract: Chronic mesenteric ischemia is an uncommon manifestation of atherosclerotic disease. The presentation of chronic mesenteric ischemia is often confusing and the diagnosis is usually not made until late in the course of the disease. Selective angiography is considered the gold standard for establishing the diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischemia. The treatment options for patients presenting with symptomatic chronic mesenteric ischemia include various surgical approaches to revascularization and catheter-based interventions.
