title: [Clinical-functional and morphological changes in the large intestine in patients with chronic abdominal ischemia].
abstract: The article presents a study of clinical variants of ischemic lesions of the large intestine (ILLI) in patients with the chronic abdominal ischemia (CAI) syndrome. There was an examination of 42 patients with putative ILLI, who had a cardiovascular pathology at the background, which led to significant hemodynamic disorders of the blood flow in unpaired visceral branches of the abdominal aorta. The authors performed a complex diagnostics of ILLI including anamnestic and clinical data, laboratory and morphological assessment of the large intestine and vessels providing its blood supply. Based on the data collected, other functional and organic diseases of the large intestine (LI) were excluded. It was revealed that the final result of ILLI differed depending on the ischemia degree--from reversible functional disorders to high-grade organic lesions of the LI. Each clinical variant of ILLI has its own clinical manifestations as well as functional, organic and morphological peculiarities of changes in the LI revealed by a laboratory and histological examination of the LI.
