Abstract
Background
Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) includes acute superior mesenteric artery (SMA) thrombosis and embolism, venous AMI, and non-occlusive mesenteric ischaemia (NOMI). Patients with AMI are identified using the International Classification of Diseases (tenth revision (ICD-10)) code K55.0 (acute vascular disorders of the intestine). Reporting of outcomes depends on reliable case identification.
