Abstract:
The ageing population has made intestinal ischemia more common in clinical practice.The clinical manifestations of intestinal ischemia caused by various pathological conditions range from mild to non-specific symptoms to life-threatening.Accurate judgement in the early stages of the disease can be life-saving.This article provides an overview of the anatomical and pathophysiological basis for the occurrence of intestinal ischemia, as well as the latest evidence-based medical evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.The aim is to raise clinicians' awareness of intestinal ischemic injury in the elderly, promote standardized diagnosis and management, and improve clinical outcomes.
