Surgical and Interventional Visceral Revascularization for the Treatment of Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia—When to Prefer Which?

Abstract

Surgical treatment has superior long-term patency and requires fewer reinterventions, but it is also more invasive with greater morbidity and mortality compared to endovascular treatment. Endovascular techniques may be preferable in patients with significant co-morbidities, concomitant aortic disease, or indeterminate symptoms.
