General measures
- Intensive medical therapy (including fluid substitution to stabilize hemodynamics; anticoagulation (inhibition of blood clotting) to prevent exacerbation (worsening of symptoms) of thromboembolic occlusive processes; antibiotic therapy).
- Review of permanent medication due topossible impact on the existing disease.
Interventional therapeutic procedures for arterial mesenteric ischemia
- Transfemoral (access via an artery in the groin) aspiration embolectomy (removal of the embolus (vascular plug) by suction).
- Intra-arterial pharmacospurge perfusion.
- Local fibrinolysis (fibrin cleavage)
- Stent PTA (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty).
Interventional therapeutic procedures for venous mesenteric ischemia
- Portal venous recanalization (reopening of an occluded vessel).
- Portal decompression (TIPS)
Interventional procedures are contraindicated for the following conditions:
- Peritonitis (inflammation of the peritoneum).
- Intestinal gangrene
