Activity Description

Abdominal angina is postprandial pain that occurs in mesenteric vascular occlusive disease when blood flow to the colon is unable to meet visceral demands. This is similar to intermittent claudication in peripheral vascular disease or angina pectoris in coronary artery disease. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of abdominal angina and the role of the interprofessional team in recognizing and treating this condition.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Describe patient history clues that might lead to consideration of abdominal angina.
  • Review the gold standard test for diagnosing abdominal angina.
  • Explain the interprofessional team's role in decreasing the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with abdominal angina.
  • Describe how careful patient monitoring and good communication among the interprofessional team will improve patient outcomes in those with abdominal angina.

It is incomplete discussion and not centered on IR. Should discuss and should have actual images like US, CTA, Angio. Should be focused on revascularization technique if this is to be an IR CME. Discussion should distinguish acute and chronic mesenteric ischemia as well as venous and arterial. See attached. Mesenteric ischemia can be classified into broad groups according to etiology 13: acute mesenteric ischemia (95% cases) arterial occlusive mesenteric ischemia (60-85% cases) embolic acute mesenteric ischemia (EAMI) thrombotic acute mesenteric ischemia (TAMI) non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) (15-30% cases) veno-occlusive mesenteric ischemia / venous acute mesenteric ischemia (VAMI) (5-15% cases) mixed, e.g. strangulating bowel obstruction chronic mesenteric ischemia (5%) Imaging features can vary depending on the time course and etiology and are therefore discussed separately in the articles above. A number of features are however common to most advanced acute cases and result from the bowel wall necrosis and perforation: FINDINGS: pneumatosis intestinalis: gas in intestinal wall pneumatosis portalis: gas in the portal vein or in mesenteric vein can be differentiated by pneumobilia because gas usually reaches the periphery of the liver while pneumobilia is usually about 2 cm short of external liver border, and is more clustered at the hilum pneumoperitoneum: perforation of the bowel submucosal hemorrhage: sensitivity for diagnosis is low (10%) with all true-positive cases having other CT findings present at diagnosis 10 variable amounts of free fluid
