Isquemia mesentérica: algoritmos diagnósticos y terapéuticos

The lack of scientific evidence of a rare disease, with a clinical picture and diagnostic tests that are occasionally non-specific, as well as a wide variation in revascularisation procedures, make it difficult to make decisions. The scientific societies must stimulate the development of diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms, with the aim of improving the management and survival of these patients, as well as to endorse the activities of their members. It is within this framework that the Angiology and Vascular Surgery Society of Castile and Leon (Sociedad Castellano Leonesa de Angiología y Cirugía Vascular) (SOCLACIVAS) proposes to establish a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for mesenteric ischaemia.
