Commentary: endovascular versus open revascularization for chronic mesenteric ischemia: power in numbers from experienced centers.

摘要

Dr. Gupta and colleagues1 report a comprehensive review of the literature on chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) over the past 20 years, examining clinical variables and comparing outcomes in patients undergoing open and endovascular repair. They looked specifically at symptomatic improvement, freedom from symptoms at 5 years, primary and assisted primary patency, and morbidity and mortality between the 2 treatment groups.
