RESUMEN
La isquemia intestinal crónica es un cuadro poco frecuente que se encuentra asociado a una alta morbilidad y mortalidad. La causa más frecuente es la arterioesclerosis. Los pacientes sufren de dolor abdominal periumbilical o en epigastrio, que aparece de 10 a 30 minutos luego de la ingestión de alimentos. Presentamos un caso de isquemia intestinal crónica diagnosticado por colonoscopia con biopsias. Se practicó arteriografía que mostró estenosis de la arteria mesentérica superior y se trató con angioplastia percutánea e implante de stent. El paciente presentó completa mejoría clínica y endoscópica. Se comentan los hallazgos clínicos, endoscópicos, radiológicos y el procedimiento terapéutico. Creemos que el tratamiento con arteriografía, angioplastia y colocación de stent es una alternativa que puede mejorar los resultados clínicos disminuyendo la morbimortalidad en esta patología.
ABSTRACT
Chronic mesenteric arterial ischemia is an uncommon condition associated with a high morbidity and mortality. It is most commonly caused by atherosclerotic occlusive disease. Patients may suffer epigastric or periumbilical post prandial pain, ten to thirty minutes after eating. A case of chronic mesenteric ischemia is presented due to superior mesenteric artery stenosis. The diagnosis was performed with colonoscopy and biopsy. We present a case report of a patient with chronic mesenteric ischemia. Mesenteric arteriography was performed and documented estenosis of the mesenteric superior artery. Then, percutaneus arteriography with angioplasty and implant of stent was performed. The patient became completely asymptomatic and normal colon mucosa is observed in a control colonoscopy. The purpose of this report is to present the case, endoscopic, clinic and radiological features and to describe the percutaneous angioplasty and implant of stent.We believe that angioplasty treatment offers an improvement in this pathology with a low complication rate, and increasing patient confort degree.
