AB  - ESSENTIAL  CONCEPTSAcute  mesenteric  ischemia  (AMI)  is  a  medical  and  surgical  emergency.  Delay  in  diagnosis  is  associated  with  high  mortality.Patients  often  present  with  abdominal  pain  out  of  proportion  to  physical  examination  findings.Clinical  suspicion  of  AMI  necessitates  early  radiologic  evaluation  (computed  tomographic  [CT]  angiography,  conventional  angiography)  or  exploratory  surgery  in  patients  with  peritoneal  signs.Chronic  intestinal  ischemia  is  a  clinical  diagnosis.  Patients  report  classic  symptoms  (eg,  abdominal  angina)  and  have  radiographic  findings  showing  severe  stenoses  or  occlusion  of  two  or  more  mesenteric  arteries.Colonic  ischemia  is  rarely  life  threatening  and  usually  resolves  with  supportive  care.
