The importance of quick diagnosis in acute abdomen
Abdominal pain is a very common complaint among patients in Emergency Rooms. It can usually be associated with a gastrological problem. Acute Mesenteric Ischemia is one of the rarest causes of acute abdomen and has an incidence of 0.09–0.2% of all acute surgical admissions. An occlusive type of AMI may be treated using a relatively safe endovascular method called aspiration thrombectomy. This report presents a case of a 74-year-old male patient with a broad vascular treatment history, who was admitted to the Emergency Room with severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
