The importance of quick diagnosis in acute abdomen
, 12, 12, 3, 3, 3
Abstract
Abdominal pain is a very common complaint among patients in Emergency Rooms. It can usually be associated
with a gastrological problem. Acute Mesenteric Ischemia is one of the rarest causes of acute abdomen and
has an incidence of 0.09–0.2% of all acute surgical admissions. An occlusive type of AMI may be treated
using a relatively safe endovascular method called aspiration thrombectomy. This report presents a case of
a 74-year-old male patient with a broad vascular treatment history, who was admitted to the Emergency Room
with severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
