“…The second step is the reassessment of bowel viability. If possible the time of 20 or 30 min after revascularization should be spent before decision making about viability to evaluate signs of adequate perfusion as mesenteric vessel pulsation, normal color and appearance of the bowel serosa, peristalsis, and bleeding from cut surfaces [2]. Moreover, if an explorative diagnostic laparotomy (or laparoscopy) is performed as the first diagnostic step, an on-table SMA angiography should be performed at the same time.…”
