Mesenteric Disease

Mesenteric ischemia and vascular GI disorders are uncommon but carry significant morbidity and require multidisciplinary care. The session covers acute mesenteric ischemia (arterial embolism, thrombosis, non-occlusive, venous), chronic mesenteric ischemia and revascularisation, median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), mesenteric venous thrombosis management including anticoagulation, vasculitis affecting GI tract (polyarteritis nodosa, Henoch-Schönlein, IgA vasculitis), and endovascular interventions including stenting and thrombectomy. Discussion addresses post-bariatric internal hernia mesenteric pathology, the role of MR and CT angiography, fibromuscular dysplasia, and the integration of vascular surgery, IR and GI in mesenteric disease management.
