Preferred Label : mesenteric vascular occlusion;
MeSH definition : Obstruction of the flow in the SPLANCHNIC CIRCULATION by ATHEROSCLEROSIS; EMBOLISM;
THROMBOSIS; STENOSIS; TRAUMA; and compression or intrinsic pressure from adjacent
tumors. Rare causes are drugs, intestinal parasites, and vascular immunoinflammatory
diseases such as PERIARTERITIS NODOSA and THROMBOANGIITIS OBLITERANS. (From Juergens
et al., Peripheral Vascular Diseases, 5th ed, pp295-6);

see notes under MESENTERIC ARTERIES & MESENTERIC VEINS; coord IM with target organ
losing its blood supply (COLON /blood supply, JEJUNUM /blood supply) (IM or NIM) only
