Endovascular Versus Surgical Revascularization for the Management of Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia

Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) can be treated with surgical revascularization (SR) or endovascular revascularization (ER).Systematic review of 12 studies comparing ER and SR in CMI. Primary end point was perioperative (30 days) survival. A secondary composite end point consisted of perioperative mortality, nonfatal cardiac events, nonfatal stroke, and nonfatal bowel ischemia. Further end points included late survival, primary patency, and...
