penetration, hidden to the eye, into deep tissues. Vigorous debridement must be carried out to establish the degree of penetration and to remove all necrotic tissue [3]. Fulminant infection may necessitate guillotine amputation. The bypass can often be performed 3–5 days after debridement. If ischaemia plays a major role and the infection is quiescent, then revascularisation can, in selected cases, be per­formed first. Vascular reconstruction can be performed in as many as 90 per cent of diabetic patients with atherothrombotic disease [10]. The best outflow vessel in con­tinuity with the foot should be selected [11]. Diabetes is not considered to affect the outcome of graft patency, although female diabetic patients are reported to have worse outcome regarding patency and leg salvage [12]. In limbs with large tissue defects, a microvascular free muscle flap transfer can be used for defect coverage in conjunction with long bypass [13]. [Q8: D]
Short bypasses do well if the inflow artery is not compromised, as in our patient. Although the above-knee popliteal artery gave better results as the inflow vessel than the below-knee popliteal artery in our own series [14], the question is not settled. [Q9: C]
Angiography is the gold standard for intraoperative monitoring. The accuracy of flowmetry is affected strongly by the reproducibility of the method. In contrast to older methods, transit-time flowmetry, which does not require information on the diameter of the vessels, has proven to be very accurate [15]. Despite this, it gives only flow values and does not inform about the morphology. The present case clearly shows how the typically narrow segment of the great saphenous vein below the knee was missed despite good flow during the initial hyperaemia. In this area, there was an intimal tear caused by the valvulectomy catheter. Unfortunately, an angioscope was not used in the first operation. An angioscope visualises the inner surface of the vessel, whereas intravascular ultrasound is better for detecting changes within the vessel wall. Doppler and duplex may be used for intraoperative monitoring as well. Doppler gives only haemodynamic information, whereas duplex gives a combination of anatomical and haemodynamic information. There is no best method for intraoperative monitoring, but the optimal method would be to have both haemodynamic and morphological information. [Q10: A, D, E]
As there is a 30 per cent risk of developing neointimal hyperplasia and graft steno­sis within the first postoperative year, duplex surveillance is considered an essential part of postoperative care. All the suggested duplex criteria are indicative of vein graft stenosis, but none of them can be 100 per cent sensitive in detecting stenosis [16]. Our case demonstrates that using liberal duplex criteria, false positive findings are easily encountered as the angiography was deemed normal. [Q11: A, B, C, D]

A 68-year-old woman presented with a 19-month history of generalised abdomi­nal pain. Initially, she experienced the pain following meals, but subsequently the pain became persistent. Over this period of time, she lost 12 kg in weight. For the last few months before admission, she started having diarrhoea once to twice per day. There was no blood or mucus in the stool. Her past medical history included partial gastrectomy 17 years earlier for benign disease.
On examination, the patient looked cachectic. Her abdomen was slightly dis­tended, and the bowel sounds were increased. There was a high-pitched epigas­tric bruit. Routine blood tests were normal.
Question 1
Which is the likely diagnosis for our patient on the basis of the available informa­tion so far?
A. Cancer of the pancreas.
B. Peptic ulcer.
C. Subacute intestinal obstruction secondary to adhesions.
D. Mesenteric angina.
E. Cancer of the large bowel.
Faecal fat measurement was 17.6 g/day (normal value <6 g/day). Gastroscopy was performed, which showed features compatible with atrophic gastritis. This was fol­lowed by computed tomography (CT) scanning of the abdomen, which reported that the pancreas could not be defined well as a result of paucity of retroperitoneal fat. In addition, CT showed non-specific thickening of the small-bowel loops. Endoscopic retrograde cholecystopangreatography (ERCP) was performed, which ruled out pancreatic pathology. A small-bowel enema did not demonstrate any significant findings. A colonoscopy was performed, which showed two isolated

Fig. 24.2 shows the lateral aortogram of our patient, which showed occlusion of the coeliac artery and 95 per cent stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery. A diagnosis of chronic visceral ischaemia was made.

Question 2
Which of the following statements regarding chronic visceral ischaemia is correct?
A. It has a marked male preponderance.
B. As described in our patient, it usually takes more than 1 year from the first pre-
sentation of the symptoms until the final diagnosis is made.
C. It presents clinically as an undiagnosed malignancy.
D. Symptoms occur when at least one of the three visceral arteries has significant
disease.
E. It may cause malabsorption.
The patient underwent antegrade revascularisation via a ninth rib extraperitoneal thoracoabdominal approach of the coeliac artery and the superior mesenteric artery. An 8-mm Dacron graft was used as a conduit.
Question 3
Which of the following statements regarding the management of this patient are false?
A. The best patency can be achieved using a venous conduit.
B. Revascularisation of the coeliac artery was unnecessary, and equally good
results could have been achieved with revascularisation of only the superior mesenteric artery.
C. Surgical revascularisation should not have been considered in this elderly, frail
patient because it has an excessive mortality rate of about 30 per cent in most series.
D. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) should have been the method of
choice.
The postoperative recovery of the patient was uneventful. She was discharged home on the eighth postoperative day. Six months later, she was asymptomatic and had gained 5 kg in weight. However, at 12 months the patient presented to the out­patient clinic with recurrent postprandial abdominal pain. A duplex examination showed that the graft to superior mesenteric artery anastomosis had more than 60 per cent stenosis and the graft to coeliac artery anastomosis was occluded.
Question 4
What would you advise your patient?
A. Reoperation aiming to revascularise the coeliac artery and place a patch on the
graft to superior mesenteric artery anastomosis.
218 Vascular Surgery
B. Angioplasty and stenting of the graft to superior mesenteric artery anastomosis.
C. Conservative management advising the patient to take small and frequent
meals.
The patient underwent angioplasty and stenting of the graft to superior mesen­teric artery anastomosis with an excellent technical and clinical result. Twenty-four months following this procedure the patient remains asymptomatic.
Commentary
As described in our patient, the clinical picture of chronic visceral ischaemia includes abdominal pain with or without diarrhoea and weight loss. The diagnosis of chronic visceral ischaemia is in doubt if the patient has no significant decrease in total body mass. The abdominal pain occasionally radiates to the back. The pain of visceral ischaemia has similarities to that of carcinoma of the stomach, pancreatic carcinoma and peptic ulceration. Diarrhoea may be explained by the increased motility of the bowel induced by the ischaemia; it may also be secondary to malab­sorption. [Q1: A, B, D, E]
Other symptoms that may be seen include nausea and vomiting, which have been associated with gastric motility disorders caused by ischaemia [1]. An epigastric bruit may or may not be present. Our group and others have reported a marked female patient distribution of this condition [2–4]. The reason for this peculiar sex distribution remains undetermined. However, it has been suggested that it could be the result of the inclusion of cases of Takayasu’s aortitis in reports of atherosclerotic chronic visceral ischaemia [5]. Takayasu’s aortitis closely mimics atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta and has a marked female predominance.
The time from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis is usually more than 12 months [6]. The diagnosis of chronic visceral ischaemia is a clinical one. As shown clearly in our case, contrast studies, abdominal ultrasound, endoscopy and CT are not essential to the diagnosis but will prove important in eliminating other sources of abdominal discomfort. In all instances, lateral views of biplane aortography demonstrate visceral occlusive lesions compatible with the diagnosis. As a result of an abundant network of collateral vessels, clinical symptoms are present when at least two of the three visceral arteries have significant disease. There are known asymptomatic cases with all three visceral arteries thrombosed, thus emphasising the fact that chronic visceral ischaemia cannot be diagnosed exclusively on the basis of X-rays. [Q2: B, C, E]
Techniques of revascularisation include transection and reimplantation, bypass grafting, endarterectomy and balloon angioplasty with or without stent placement. There is no consensus regarding the best surgical approach for the treatment of chronic visceral ischaemia. This condition is encountered infrequently, and it is unlikely that a single centre can treat enough patients and accumulate sufficient experience to develop principles of treatment by demonstrating significant differ­ences between the various mesenteric revascularisation strategies. Bypass grafting is the most common type of visceral revascularisation performed; it may originate from several different locations, including the supracoeliac aorta, the infrarenal

aorta and the common iliac arteries. Regardless of the bypass technique used, the status of the donor artery is critical to success [7]. The distal thoracic aorta is usually free of atherosclerotic disease and is an excellent origin of a short antegrade bypass to the superior mesenteric artery. The bypass is placed in the direction of normal blood flow, thus reducing anastomotic turbulence. In addition, this design eliminates the possibility of kinking and thrombosis by compression or traction from the overlying intestinal mesentery, which may be observed with retrograde grafts originating from the infrarenal aorta or the iliac arteries. The distal portion of the thoracic aorta may be approached from the abdomen through division of the crura.
There is no uniform agreement about the graft material of choice. In early reports, vein grafts had patency rates inferior to synthetic grafts [9, 10]. More recent reports described the use of either autogenous veins or prosthetic grafts with excel­lent long-term function and no difference in patency rates [11, 12]. In our case, we used synthetic Dacron bypass because it is always available, spares the patient from the morbidity of one or more incisions for the harvesting of the vein, and provides good early and long-term results.
Aorto-superior mesenteric artery bypass alone is usually sufficient to provide good symptomatic relief as a result of the extensive collateral circulation, even when all three visceral arteries are occluded. Hollier et al. [13] have shown that complete revascularisation in multivessel disease resulted in a late recurrence of 11 per cent, while when one of three stenotic vessels was revascularised the recurrence rate was 50 per cent. They concluded that it is preferable to revascularise as many vessels as possible to provide the best chance of long-term relief.
Most recent series report an acceptable operative mortality rate ranging from 3 to 8 per cent.
Our patient could have been considered for angioplasty of the superior mesen­teric artery. There is limited information about the selection of patients for PTA and the long-term results. A number of small series reported early technical success in 70–100 per cent of patients. Recurrence after PTA is greater than after surgery. In a series of 18 patients with chronic visceral ischaemia who had a technically success­ful angioplasty, symptomatic recurrence occurred in three (20 per cent) patients at a mean interval of 28 months, while three patients had only partial symptomatic relief [14]. Angioplasty is safer than surgery, although fatal distal embolisation and fatal superior mesenteric artery dissection with thrombosis and bowel infarction have been reported. At present, it should probably be limited to high-risk patients. PTA of the visceral arteries can be difficult when performed via the femoral artery approach. Access through the brachial and axillary artery may be easier, but this route does not guarantee technical success. [Q3: False A, B, C, D]
Recurrent visceral ischaemia is not uncommon after primary visceral revascular­isation for chronic visceral ischaemia. In a large series of 109 patients who under­went primary visceral revascularisation at the University of California, San Francisco over a period of 38 years, 19 patients had recurrent visceral ischaemia, 12 (11 per cent) patients had recurrent chronic visceral ischaemia, and seven (6.4 per cent) had acute visceral ischaemia [15]. The minimally invasive nature of the endovascular techniques and the increased complication rate of reoperations renders the endovascular approach a reasonable first option in properly selected patients with recurrent symptoms [16].

A 78-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a 12-h history of sudden-onset abdominal pain. She had vomited after the pain started, and she had also had two episodes of diarrhoea. Until this time, she had been well, although she was known to be in atrial fibrillation and took digoxin 125 mg daily.
On examination, she was distressed and obviously in pain. Baseline observa­tions revealed a pulse of 110 bpm, irregularly irregular, blood pressure of 95/60 mm Hg, respiratory rate of 28 breaths/min, and temperature of 37.3°C. Her chest was clear, heart sounds were normal (irregular rhythm), and the jugular venous pressure was not elevated. Abdominal examination was unremarkable, with a soft abdomen and minimal tenderness despite severe pain, and normal bowel sounds.
The investigations shown in Table 25.1 were performed by the admitting surgeon.
Electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed atrial fibrillation with no other acute changes. Erect chest X-ray revealed normal lung fields and no free gas under the diaphragm. Abdominal radiography was unremarkable except for minimal small-bowel distension.
Question 1
Which of the following is the most unlikely diagnosis?
A. Acute ulcerative colitis.
B. Pancreatitis.
C. Mesenteric venous thrombosis.
D. Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI).
E. Diabetic ketoacidosis.
