Acute mesenteric venous thrombosis: a better outcome achieved through improved imaging techniques and a changed policy of clinical management

Author(s): Zhang J, Duan ZQ, Song QB, Luo YW, Xin SJ, et al.

Abstract

We retrospectively reviewed 41 patients treated for acute MVT admitted in our hospital between 1978 and 2003. Before 1995 (Group I), our policy was to perform surgery in patients with suspected acute MVT. After 1995 (Group II), we changed our policy to a medical approach when achievable. Each patient in this study was assessed for diagnosis, initial management (operative or non-operative), mortality, duration of hospitalisation, and outcome.
