Acute Mesenteric Ischaemia (AMI) carries a staggering 50% mortality risk. A scoping review of 39 studies (20,991 patients) reveals endovascular interventions outperform open surgery, yielding lower 30-day mortality rates (0%-53.8% vs. 21%-81%) and shorter hospital (5-15.35 days vs. 5.7-27.26 days) and ICU stays (0-5.35 days vs. 2-13 days). Timely diagnosis and careful patient selection are pivotal. The findings underscore the need for a multidisciplinary approach and future standardization of treatment protocols.
