Abstract:

Article presents a clinical case of 83-year old woman with successful aspiration thrombectomy from the superior mesenteric artery due to its thromboembolism with the help of endovascular reperfusion catheter ACE68. Due to the satisfactory angiographic and clinical results - additional manipulations (artery stenting, selective thrombolysis) were not performed. Time from the onset of the disease to the restoration of blood mesenteric flow in the basin of the superior mesenteric artery was 24 hours, laparotomy or laparoscopy in post-operative period were not necessary. This article also discusses indications for endovascular treatment of acute occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery.

Abstract:

The world data devoted to endovascular treatment of acute thrombotic or thromboembolic occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery are provided in article. Various methods of intra vascular interventions are described at acute mesenteric ischemia: mechanical and rheolytic thrombectomy, retrograde stenting, thrombolytic therapy and some others. Endovascular intervention, according to different authors, may consider as choice option in treatment of patients in a stage of intestine ischemia.

Abstract:

Article presents data of modern literature concerning diagnostic efficiency of computed tomography and CT-angiography in diagnostics of acute disorders of mesenterial blood circulation. Article describes various groups of instrumental diagnostic signs indicating directly or indirectly on acute thrombotic and thromboembolic occlusion of mesenterial.

According to huge ammount of authors, CT-angiography can be considered as the first step in instrumental diagnostics of acute disorder of mesenterial blood circulation, due to demonstrated sensitivity and specificity, comparable in comparison with a standard angiography.
