Mesenteric ischemia is a narrowing or blockage in the arteries that supply blood to the intestines. This condition can be chronic, meaning it develops over time, or acute, meaning it comes on suddenly. Without treatment, mesenteric ischemia can deprive the intestines of oxygen and vital nutrients. This can lead to the death of intestinal tissue鈥攁 life-threatening condition called gangrene.
