If necrosis develops then ulcerations or perforation can occur. Following the acute event, fibrosis may lead to stricture of the bowel lumen. Different pathological outcomes include 9 :"

"Mesenteric arterial or venous occlusion can be treated with anticoagulation or thrombolysis, either systemically or locally. Percutaneous vascular intervention in acute mesenteric artery occlusion is often successful and may involve a combination of thrombus aspiration, thrombolysis and arterial stenting 5. Surgical resection is indicated in cases of peritonitis, perforation, severe sepsis and massive haemorrhage. Symptomatic strictures may also require surgery 9."
