Predictors of Response To Intra-Arterial Vasodilatory Therapy of Non-Occlusive Mesenteric Ischemia In Patients With Severe Shock - Results From A Prospective Observational Study
Abstract:Background: Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is a life-threatening condition occurring in patients with shock and is characterized by vasoconstriction of the mesenteric arteries leading to intestinal ischemia and multi-organ failure. Although minimal invasive local intra-arterial infusion of vasodilators into the mesenteric circulation has been suggested as a therapeutic option in NOMI, current knowledge is based on retrospective case series and it remains unclear which patients might benefit. Here, we… Show more
