The most common cause of abdominal angina is atherosclerotic vasculardisease, where the occlusive process commonly involves the ostia and the proximal few centimeters of the mesenteric vessels.[parasitetesting.com]
Similarly, in textbooks the subject of intra-abdominal vasculardisease is usually confined to a discussion of massive mesenteric thrombosis or embolism, with extensive infarction of the intestine, and gangrene and death in a high percentage of cases.[nejm.org]

The good longterm results after arterial reconstruction in contrast to the poor prognosis without operation call for early diagnosis and surgical treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis In cases of mesenteric artery ischemia, prognosis is especially poor if the patient is not treated quickly. Even with treatment the risk of death is 30-90%, depending on the stage at which treatment is started.[diagnose-me.com]
Treatment and prognosis If a diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischemia is made, patients should undergo definitive treatment due to the risk of continued weight loss, acute infarction, perforation, sepsis, or death.[radiopaedia.org]
Treatment and prognosis Although treatment will vary according to the severity and cause of the ischemia, in general treatment is surgical. The bowel needs to be assessed for viability and if necrotic needs to be resected.[radiopaedia.org]
