Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia • Bowel manifestation of PAD • Atherosclerosis – hardening of arteries – plaque buildup blockage • Blockage of arteries supplying bowel – – pain after eating fear of food weight loss death
Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia • Bowel arteries – celiac artery – superior mesenteric artery – inferior mesenteric artery • Grading arterial blockages: – progressive atherosclerotic plaque – stenosis: 60 -99% blockage • amenable to endovascular stenting – occlusion: 100% blockage • usually managed surgically
Background CMI 1 SMA Occlusion SMA Stenosis Surgery Endovascular Stent Celiac/IMA stenosis 1. Sreenarasimhaiah J: Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia. Best Pract Res Clin Gastroenterol. 19(2): 283 -95, 2005 Stent SMA occlusion
Purpose • To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of endovascular stenting of superior mesenteric artery occlusions (100% blockages) in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia
Methods • 47 patients – 18 male, 29 female – mean age 73 yrs, range 44 -87 • All patients with clinical symptoms of CMI > 1 mo N % Postprandial pain 47 100 Weight loss (>5 lb) 33 70 Food fear 18 38 Early satiety 16 34 Diarrhea 21 45 Nausea/vomiting 20 43
72 y/o female, food fear, 45 lb weight loss
Results PROCEDURE SUCCESS • Achieved in 41/47 (87%) • 6 unsuccessful procedures: – 2 went on to bypass – 3 received celiac stents – 1 lost to follow-up
Results INITIAL SYMPTOM IMPROVEMENT • Symptom Improvement < 30 d – 4 point scale 1 significant improvement 2 partial improvement 3 no change 4 worsening of symptoms N=41
Results FOLLOW-UP BY ULTRASOUND • Primary patency (months): – 97% @ 12 – 75% @ 24 • Recurrent blockage of SMA: – 7 patients – all had repeat endovascular procedures • Secondary patency – 100% @ 12 – 97% @ 24
Results SYMPTOMS • Symptom-free – 100% @ 12 mo – 88% @ 24 mo
Conclusions • Endovascular stenting of complete blockages of the SMA is a safe and effective procedure – – minimally-invasive good technical success rate easily repeatable excellent clinical outcomes
