Although Takayasu's arteritis may present a wide variety of signs and symptoms depending on the vessel affected, it is rarely associated with acuteabdomen requiring emergency laparotomy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Mesenteric infarction should be suspected in all elderly cardiac patients with symptoms of acuteabdomen. The value of an early diagnosis, fast resuscitation, and aggressive operative treatment cannot be overstated.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The value of an early diagnosis, fast resuscitation, and aggressive operative treatment cannot be overstated. Bowel resections yielded the best results in this series.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In view of the high recurrence rate in the early postoperative period, treatment must prevent the causes of persistent or recurrent ischaemia such as vasoconstriction and reperfusion tissue damage.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although surgical resection of the necrotic bowel is the treatment of choice, the patient and her family opted for conservative treatment. The patient died 3 days later.[nejm.org]
An immediate surgical treatment with resection of the small bowel and right colon followed by a side-to-side primary anastomosis between the remaining jejunum and transverse colon were performed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patients with primary venous mesenteric infarction showed a better survival rate (one death in eight patients) than patients with associated diseases such as liver cirrhosis, sepsis or previous operation who had a poor prognosis with a mortality comparable[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prognosis was significantly related to the patient's age and time lapse between clinical onset and operation.[link.springer.com]
Complications such as peritonitis and sepsis result in a poor prognosis.[amboss.com]
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]
Abstract The most common etiologies of mesenteric infarction in fifty-one patients were arterial thrombosis (in 42 per cent), bowel infarction without major vessel occlusion (in 28 per cent), and arterial embolus (in 22 per cent), but the etiology also[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Recent changes in the etiology of this disease have not been examined. A retrospective review of 121 consecutive patients over a 6-year period was undertaken.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Recommended operative procedures depend on the etiology of the infarction. Hyperalimentation may be of benefit early in the postoperative course to provide both nutrition and a chance for adaptation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CONCLUSIONS: A thrombotic tendency is the main etiological factor in most patients younger than 60 years. An anastomosis of the remaining jejunum to the colon can allow PN to be stopped.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Severe hemodynamic alterations either of cardiac origin or due to shock were important etiologic factors in cases of nonocclusive mesenteric infarction.[link.springer.com]
