Prevalence and clinical significance of mesenteric artery stenosis in elderly patients with acute abdomen
Mesenteric artery stenosis is a relatively common clinical problem in elderly patients with acute abdomen. The risk of AMI is significant in emergency room patients with ≥70% SMA stenosis and involvement of other mesenteric arteries (multivessel disease). Occurrence of later symptoms seems to be rare in patients with incidental asymptomatic mesenteric artery stenosis.
