A new analysis of the ISCHEMIA trial reveals its results are highly contingent on how myocardial infarction is defined, with investigators reporting a significant treatment difference between the ...

Mesenteric ischemia is caused by blood flow that is insufficient to meet the metabolic demands of the visceral organs. The severity of ischemia and the type of organ involved depend on the affected ...

A key lesson one can learn from experience in designing clinical trials is that the devil is often in the details. Trial design is equally as important as—if not more important than—trial execution.

Mesenteric ischemia results from insufficient blood flow to the intestines and has a high mortality rate, primarily due to delayed diagnosis. It is classified into acute (AMI) and chronic (CMI) forms, ...

CHICAGO -- Surgical revascularization led to fewer major adverse limb events and deaths compared with endovascular therapy in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia, according to the ...

Mesenteric artery ischemia is a condition that restricts blood flow to your intestines. Three main arteries, called the mesenteric arteries, supply blood to your small and large intestines. Narrowing ...
