Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a condition characterized ... patient anatomy and comorbidities rather than solely on the type of intervention[4][5].

There are two types of mesenteric ischemia. Acute ischemia is typically caused by blood clots, and symptoms appear suddenly.

Current understanding of microvascular changes in chronic limb-threatening ischemia remains limited, partly because the tissue microvasculature is difficult to study in human patients.

Persistent over-dilation of muscle microvasculature may be one cause of chronic limb-threatening ischemia, recent studies by Kuopio University Hospital and the University of Eastern Finland show.
