Intestinal Ischemia

Category: Gastroenterology / Vascular Disorders

Intestinal ischemia is a serious condition caused by a reduction in blood flow to the intestines, which can lead to tissue damage, inflammation, and potentially necrosis.

Global Prevalence

Acute mesenteric ischemia incidence is estimated at 1-2 cases per 100,000 people per year, with chronic mesenteric ischemia being less common but often underdiagnosed. (Source: Oldenburg WA, et al. Acute mesenteric ischemia. Mayo Clin Proc. 2004)
