• #1 Ischemic colitis: Clinical practice in diagnosis and treatment

  https://www.wjgnet.com/1007-9327/full/v14/i48/7302.htm

  Ischemic colitis is the most common form of ischemic injury of the gastrointestinal tract and can present either as an occlusive or a non-occlusive form. […] Therapy and outcome depends on the severity of the disease. Most cases of the non-gangrenous form are transient and resolve spontaneously without complications. On the other hand, high morbidity and mortality and urgent operative intervention are the hallmarks of gangrenous ischemic colitis. […] Treatment depends on acuteness and severity of presentation. Most cases of IC are transient and resolve spontaneously. Such patients do not require specific therapy. Very mild cases can be managed on an outpatient basis with liquid diet, close observation and antibiotics. Patients with more severe symptoms must be hospitalized. In the absence of colonic gangrene or perforation, general measures of supportive care are recommended.

  Treatment for ischemic colitis depends on its severity. […] If a person requires treatments, they include: antibiotics to prevent infection, a liquid diet, intravenous (IV) fluids to prevent dehydration, medication for pain relief. […] Acute ischemic colitis is a medical emergency. Treatments include medications such as thrombolytic drugs for blood clots or vasodilators to widen narrow arteries. […] Typically, a healthcare professional will perform a follow-up colonoscopy to check for healing and complications. […] Severe ischemic colitis that does not respond to other treatments may require surgery. An estimated 20% of people with the condition will need some form of surgical intervention. […] Those with underlying medical conditions are more likely to need surgery. […] Surgeons may: repair damage to the colon and remove scar tissue using laparotomy, bypass a blockage in the mesenteric arteries, usually through laparoscopy, open the narrowing in a blood vessel and insert a stent using angioplasty.

  Treatment for ischemic colitis depends on the severity of the condition. […] Symptoms often diminish in 2 to 3 days in mild cases. A healthcare professional may recommend: Antibiotics, to prevent infections. Intravenous fluids, if the person is dehydrated. Treatment for any underlying medical condition, such as congestive heart failure or an irregular heartbeat. Not taking medicines that constrict the blood vessels, such as migraine or hormone medicines, and some heart medicines. Bowel rest, which may involve temporarily getting nutrients from a feeding tube. […] A care professional also may schedule follow-up colonoscopies to monitor healing and look for complications. […] If symptoms are serious, or the colon has been damaged, surgery may be needed to: Remove dead tissue. Repair a hole in the colon. Remove part of the colon that has narrowed because of scarring and is causing a blockage. […] The likelihood of surgery may be higher if the person has an underlying condition, such as heart disease, atrial fibrillation or kidney failure.

  If you’re recovering from an acute episode of ischemic colitis, your healthcare provider will recommend no food at first. After that, you may transition to a liquid diet and eventually a soft diet. Avoid foods high in fiber for now. The idea is to make your intestines work as little as possible while they’re healing. Digestion requires more blood flow and oxygen to the area, while bowel rest gives your body the chance to restore that blood supply. If you have long-term (chronic) ischemic colitis or another chronic condition that predisposes you to ischemic colitis, your healthcare provider may give you specific long-term guidelines.

  Mild cases of IC are often treated with: antibiotics (to prevent infection), a liquid diet, intravenous (IV) fluids (for hydration), pain medication. […] Acute IC is a medical emergency. It may require: thrombolytics, which are medicines that dissolve blood clots, vasodilators, which are medicines that can widen your mesenteric arteries, surgery to remove the blockage in your arteries. […] People with chronic IC usually only need surgery if other treatments fail.

• #1 Ischemic Colitis: ED Presentations, Evaluation, and Management – emDocs

  https://www.emdocs.net/ischemic-colitis-ed-presentations-evaluation-and-management/

  Ischemic colitis (IC) is the underlying etiology in 16-24% of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeds (LGIBs). As individuals with IC often present with non-specific symptoms, approximately 80% of cases are missed during the initial patient encounter. In the ED, IC is correctly diagnosed in only 9% of the cases (when compared to final inpatient diagnoses). With a 10-15% mortality rate and increasing incidence in the U.S., IC is a diagnosis that should not be missed. […] The management of IC depends on disease severity. A patient is considered to have severe disease if he or she has more than three of the criteria in Table 1; peritoneal signs on physical exam; pneumatosis coli, portal venous gas, pan-colonic involvement, or IRCI upon imaging. If severe disease is suspected prior to imaging, a CTA should be performed instead of CT. Surgery should be emergently consulted for any patient with peritoneal signs, massive bleeding, universal fulminant colitis, or deteriorating clinical condition. The patient should be started on broad spectrum antibiotics.

  A good diet for ischemic colitis and lifestyle changes are key. Patients need to follow a special diet. This helps ease the colon’s workload and makes sure they get enough nutrients. […] When other treatments don’t work, surgery is needed for acute ischemic colitis. This part talks about the surgery types and how to recover. […] Surgery is done when the condition is severe or the bowel is damaged. There are a few main surgeries: Segmental Resection: This is when the bad part of the colon is removed. It’s used when the problem is in just one area. Total Colectomy: This is taking out the whole colon. It’s done when the damage is very bad. Ileostomy: This makes an opening in the belly for waste to go around the colon. It’s used if the whole colon is taken out or if the bowel needs to rest.

• #1 Congestive ischemic colitis successfully treated with anti-inflammatory therapy: A case report

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10824190/

  Congestive ischemic colitis is a rare subtype of ischemic colitis with an unknown pathophysiology. Excluding conservative management, such as fasting, no established treatment exists; therefore, surgical intervention should be considered in some cases if symptoms worsen. Current literature suggests that anti-inflammatory agents may effectively treat congestive ischemic colitis. […] Anti-inflammatory therapy, specifically glucocorticoids and 5-aminosalicylate, has demonstrated promising efficacy and introduces potential novel treatment options for congestive ischemic colitis. […] Since no clear treatment guidelines exist, surgical treatment should be considered if symptoms worsen during bowel rest. We report, for the first time, the successful treatment of congestive ischemic colitis occurring after left hemicolectomy with glucocorticoids and 5-aminosalicylate. Follow-up revealed complete healing of the sigmoid ulcers without recurrences in the past 2 years.

  Ischemic colitis (IC) is the most prevalent ischemic injury of the gastrointestinal tract. […] To comprehensively detail the current state of diagnostic methods and available drug therapies for detecting and treating IC, this review aims to provide a concise and practical summary of the corresponding literature. […] Most patients respond well to the conservative treatment, and surgical consultation is needed when conservative treatment is ineffective. Studies of potential drug therapy have been developed, including phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, pentoxifylline, rebamipide, prostaglandin E1, and polydeoxyribonucleotide. […] Accurate diagnoses and effective treatments have helped reduce the mortality rate and improve prognoses for patients afflicted with IC, and corresponding drug therapies have been constantly updated as new research has emerged.

• #1 A Beginner’s Guide to Ischemic Colitis: Symptoms, Treatment and Diet | Diet vs Disease

  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/ischemic-colitis-symptoms-treatment-diet/

  Typical treatment includes antibiotics, IV fluids and bowel rest with a clear liquid diet. […] Mild cases of IC may not even require any medical attention, while severe attacks could necessitate emergency surgery. […] Diet does not directly cause IC, but it can certainly help manage it as well as any underlying conditions. […] As mentioned above, a clear liquid diet is often recommended immediately after an IC episode. […] These liquids are easy to digest and provide electrolytes for optimal hydration. […] Since this diet is highly restrictive, it should only be followed for no more than a few days. […] Most often, a clear liquid diet and antibiotics are prescribed immediately after an IC attack to help heal the digestive system and protect your colon from infection. […] Overall, your main goal is to focus on any underlying condition (or medication) that may be restricting blood flow to your colon, including cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, blood clots, low or high blood pressure or diabetes.

• #2 Ischemic colitis involving the right-side colon: clinical case report and diagnostic considerations – Huang – Journal of Xiangya Medicine

  https://jxym.amegroups.org/article/view/8132/html

  Ischemic colitis is the most common form of gastrointestinal ischemia. It is due to mesenteric vascular occlusion, stenosis or systemic relative blood volume insufficiency, resulting in insufficient or blocked blood flow to the colon, which in turn induces intestinal ischemia, gangrene and subsequent infection. The disease usually occurs in people over the age of 50 and may be cured with medicine or surgery. Most patients have a good prognosis. However, when the lesion extends to the right colon, the disease progresses rapidly. It is required to make a rapid prognosis of the disease. […] In addition to clinical presentation, imaging examination, and colonoscopy, risk factor screening is important in ischemic colitis diagnosis. Particularly, in the case that conventional diagnostic methods are difficult to implement. The analysis of risk factors can help clinicians to predict the prognosis of patients and to carry out intervention measures in time.

  For the majority of patients without peritoneal signs, nonoperative management may be safely employed. […] As the underlying cause of ischemic colitis is hypoperfusion of the colon, it is important to remove any potential exacerbating factors and to optimize perfusion of the ischemic region. This entails use of intravenous (IV) fluid resuscitation, optimizing cardiac output, and use of supplemental oxygen. […] The use of broad-spectrum antibiotics to cover both aerobic and anaerobic coliform bacteria has been advocated, as the disease process does cause a disruption of the mucosal barrier and may lead to bacterial translocation. […] In patients who develop worsening peritonitis, perforated viscous, uncontrolled bleeding, or failure to improve, surgical intervention is required and bowel resection is performed.

  Frequent clinical follow up of the abdomen, careful monitoring of vital signs and serial radiographic and colonoscopic examinations are needed. Clinical suspicion of colonic infarction justifying an emergency laparotomy may arise if there are signs of clinical deterioration despite conservative therapy, such as sepsis, persistent fever and leukocytosis, peritoneal irritation, protracted pain, diarrhea or bleeding, protein-losing colopathy for more than 14 d, free intra-abdominal air, or endoscopically-proved extensive gangrene. […] About 20% of patients with acute IC will require surgery with an associated mortality rate of up to 60%. At laparotomy, the diagnosis is confirmed and all affected bowel resected. […] Fortunately, in the majority of patients, signs and symptoms of the disease resolve within 24 to 48 h and complete clinical, radiographic and endoscopic resolution occurs within 2 wk. In these circumstances no further therapy is indicated. In severe but reversible injury, when segmental ulcerative colitis exists, the colon may take 1 to 6 mo to heal. […] Chronic ischemia may respond to topical steroid preparations in addition to general conservative measures. Resection of the affected segment is curative and subsequent development of further ischemic disease is rare.
