Description

At our hospital, 17 patients with NOMI have been treated in the past 6 years; of these, 5 (29%) died in hospital. Angiography was proactively performed when NOMI was suspected on the basis of clinical findings and CT. Arterial infusion therapy was performed in 13 patients: 2 patients improved without surgery; 3 patients underwent laparotomy but intestinal resection was avoided; and for 1 patient the extent of resection was reduced during second-look surgery. Arterial infusion therapy comprised continuous intra-arterial administration of papaverine following bolus administration of prostaglandin E1 via a catheter placed in the superior mesenteric artery. If persistent peritoneal signs were evident, surgery was performed. Surgery was carried out in 12 patients. Mortality among the 8 patients who underwent both arterial infusion therapy and laparotomy was 25%. Patients who died had already developed multiple organ failure when treatment was started, as it had taken time for the diagnosis to be made. Early diagnosis and arterial infusion therapy on the assumption of surgery should contribute to improving therapeutic outcomes.
