Management of nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia

CT: computed tomography.
* Diagnosis typically made based on history and risk factors, and exclusion of embolic or thrombotic mesenteric arterial occlusion, and mesenteric venous thrombosis.
¶ Discontinue anticoagulation (if initiated) once other ischemic etiologies have been excluded.
Δ Depending on the clinical situation, plain abdominal films or CT of the abdomen are appropriate.
