Abstract

Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a vascular occlusive disease process that generally affects the elderly population. Clinical presentation occurs when two of the three mesenteric arteries are affected and includes non-specific abdominal pain and weight loss. The most common cause of CMI is atherosclerotic arterial occlusion. The aim of this review is to present the vascular anatomy of the mesenteric arterial circulation including the different collateral pathways. The imaging findings and the different treatment options with a brief review of the literature is presented.
