title: The Unusual Suspect: A Case of Non-occlusive Mesenteric Ischemia in a Patient With Cirrhosis.
abstract: Acute mesenteric ischemia has a variety of etiologies. Non-occulusive mesenteric ischemia accounts for 20-30% of patients with acute mesenteric ischemia. We describe a case of non-occulusive jejunal ischemia leading to infarction that occurred in a patient with cirrhosis and no previous history of cardiovascular disease.
