Current theories of pathogenesis and treatment of nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia

M G Wilcox et al. Dig Dis Sci. 1995 Apr.

Abstract

Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is a poorly understood condition marked by progressive intestinal ischemia leading to infarction, sepsis, and death in a high proportion of patients. The mortality rate for this intestinal disorder remains high, even when the diagnosis is made early in the disease course. This paper presents a comprehensive review of NOMI with a detailed discussion of its history, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
