Tratamiento de la Trombosis Venosa Mesentérica Aguda que se Presenta con Peritonitis
Cuando la trombosis venosa mesentérica aguda se complica con peritonitis o signos peritoneales en la presentación, esto indica una progresión de la isquemia que exige una respuesta clínica urgente y estructurada, diferente a la de los casos no complicados.
Escenario clínico
Trombosis venosa mesentérica aguda con peritonitis o signos peritoneales en la presentación. La fiebre y los signos peritoneales sugieren progresión de la isquemia hacia infarto intestinal, lo que indica que el tratamiento conservador por sí solo es insuficiente.

- Peritonitis
- Patients with persisting or worsening symptoms, organ failure, and those with perforation or signs of peritonitis require open surgical intervention.
- Fever and peritoneal signs are suggestive of progression of ischaemia to bowel infarction.
- The aim of surgery is to remove irreversibly ischaemic bowel and preserve as much bowel as possible.
- Anticoagulation with unfractionated or low molecular weight heparin as first line therapy is recommended for all patients with acute mesenteric vein thrombosis.
- Pain control, fluid and electrolyte supplementation, and bowel rest should be initiated immediately.
- Anticoagulation for three to six months with a vitamin K antagonist or low molecular weight heparin is recommended for all patients with acute mesenteric vein thrombosis.
- Anticoagulation for three to six months with a direct oral anticoagulant as an alternative to a vitamin K antagonist or low molecular weight heparin may be considered for all patients with acute mesenteric vein thrombosis.
