Mesenteric Vascular Occlusion

Obstruction of the flow in the SPLANCHNIC CIRCULATION by ATHEROSCLEROSIS; EMBOLISM; THROMBOSIS; STENOSIS; TRAUMA; and compression or intrinsic pressure from adjacent tumors. Rare causes are drugs, intestinal parasites, and vascular immunoinflammatory diseases such as PERIARTERITIS NODOSA and THROMBOANGIITIS OBLITERANS.

4.	Lactic Acid (Lactate)FDA LinkGeneric 01/01/1987 - "The fast increase of the lactate following mesenteric vascular occlusion and the rapid normalisation of lactate after recovery demonstrate a sensitive method in the diagnosis and controlling the treatment of acute bowel diseases with an insufficient blood supply."
5.	XenonIBA 04/01/1984 - "We evaluated the technique of intraperitoneal use of xenon Xe 133, previously described for the diagnosis of early intestinal strangulation obstruction in rats and dogs, for the recognition of acute mesenteric vascular occlusion in these animals. "
6.	PolyaminesIBA 01/01/1998 - "To investigate whether the preventive enteral administration of a polyamine precursor, such as ornithine alpha-ketoglutaiate (OKG), has a beneficial effect on the repair process of the intestinal mucosa after transient mesenteric vascular occlusion. "
