Comparative Outcomes of Open Mesenteric Bypass after a Failed Endovascular or Open Mesenteric Revascularization for Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia

Clinical practice guidelines have recommended an endovascular-first approach(ENDO) for management of patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia(CMI) while open mesenteric bypass(OMB) is proposed for subjects deemed to be poor ENDO candidates. However, the impact of a previous failed endovascular or open mesenteric reconstruction on subsequent OMB is unknown. Accordingly, this study was designed to examine the results of a remedial OMB(R-OMB) after a failed ENDO or primary OMB(P-OMB) for patients with recurrent CMI.
