Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Acute Mesenteric Ischemia

• Registration Number: NCT06428240
• Lead Sponsor: Hospital del Mar

Brief Summary

Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is a notorious disease with a high mortality, the diagnostic and management is truly multidisciplinary, but not very extended. The aim of this study is to analyse the results of the patients admited with an AMI in Catalonia.

Detailed Description

Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is a notorious disease with a high mortality from 50 to 80%. Even though AMI is a relatively rare condition (1:1,000) the incidence rises exponentially with increasing age, in patients older than 75 years, the incidence of AMI has been reported higher than that of acute appendicitis. AMI patients benefit from early assessment in a surgical unit with capabilities to definitive management. The diagnosis and management of AMI are truly multidisciplinary, requiring high index of suspicion and awareness from emergency department physicians, preferably computed tomography angiography with precise interpretation, but usually this is not the truth reality and the diagnostic is delayed as well as the treatment, and the management is not multidisciplinary.

The aim of this study is to analyse the management and results of the patients admitted with an AMI in Catalonia from November 2024 to April 2026.
