Acute bowel ischemia after heart operations
2014, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Unfortunately, isolated or predominant small bowel hypoperfusion might be encountered in ABI, making such an examination not fully reliable in all ABI patterns [1–6, 9–12, 14–19]. Mesenteric angiography has been considered the gold standard for ABI diagnosis for many years, also representing a resolutive option because of the selective injection of vasodilators and thrombolytic drugs if needed [3, 45, 57, 59]. In addition, this examination is impractical in patients not suitable for safe transfer to the angiography laboratory and is time-consuming in patients who are usually hemodynamically unstable [6, 10, 14, 15, 18, 40, 41, 57].

2001, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Clark demonstrated a successful outcome in 45% of cases treated with papaverine (30 to 60 mg/h) or prostaglandin E2 (0.6 to 1.5 mg/h) [11]. Both Eker and colleagues [2], and Niederhäuser and associates [5], reported single survivors after treatment with 10 mg/h and 30 mg/h papaverine, respectively. Stöckmann and colleagues reported survival of eight of their nine patients treated with prostaglandin E2 (60 μg/24 h for 3 days) [10].
