Antegrade Aorto-Mesenteric Bypass Using a Prefabricated Bovine Pericardium Tube Graft for the Treatment of Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia Complicated With Intestinal Necrosis and Biliary Peritonitis
Cureus. 2024 Apr 3;16(4):e57530. doi: 10.7759/cureus.57530. eCollection 2024 Apr.
ABSTRACT
Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a vascular disorder primarily caused by atherosclerosis, resulting in intestinal ischemia. While endovascular treatment has become the primary modality for most patients, open mesenteric revascularization remains crucial for complex cases. We present a case of CMI in a patient with critical ischemia, leading to small bowel necrosis, where the endovascular recanalization failed and a surgical approach was needed. A supraceliac antegrade aortomesenteric bypass was performed, and successful revascularization of intestinal circulation was achieved. A novel prefabricated bovine pericardium tube was used as a graft, and the bypass was placed behind the pancreas to ensure maximal isolation from the contaminated abdominal cavity. Despite the intestinal revascularization, in the early postoperative period, the overall condition of the patient worsened with obvious signs of peritonitis. The second look operation revealed a ruptured gallbladder with severe biliary peritonitis, likely caused by the preceding splanchnic ischemia. A cholecystectomy, lavage, and drainage were performed. No further intestinal necrosis was observed, and the bowel passage was restored with latero-lateral jejuno-lejunostomy. The follow-up of the patient showed no signs of graft infection. Despite the complications, the patient’s postoperative period was stable, and he was discharged on day sixteen. Regular follow-ups confirmed an excellent patency of the bypass.
