A scoping review of 39 studies on acute mesenteric ischaemia indicated that endovascular interventions significantly improved patient outcomes. Notably, they showed lower 30-day mortality rates compared to open surgery, ranging from 0% to 53.8% versus 21% to 81%. Additionally, patients receiving endovascular treatment experienced shorter hospital and ICU stays. However, delays in diagnosis, averaging between 13.9 to 48 hours, remain a concern, emphasizing the need for timely diagnosis and multidisciplinary approaches for optimal patient management.
