Aortic dissection leads to the continuous decrease in blood pressure and blood flow to the SMA, considered as a predisposing factor for Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) according to a recent study published in the BMC Surgery
Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is defined as acute intestinal ischemia because of decreased blood flow in mesenteric vessels. Only a few cases of NOMI that occur secondary to aortic dissection (AD) have been reported, resulting in the lack of sufficient knowledge of diagnosis and treatment.
