Angioplasty and stenting of the superior mesenteric artery in acute mesenteric ischaemia

Acute mesenteric ischaemia is a challenging diagnostic problem with a very high mortality. Traditionally, laparotomy is required for definitive management. We describe a successful case of angioplasty and stenting of the superior mesenteric artery in a surgically unfit patient. We recommend that stenting be considered only in situations where the diagnosis has been made prior to bowel infarction, and if the patient poses a poor operative risk.

The Morbidity of Multiple Sclerosis

Although the clinical course of multiple sclerosis is benignin up to one-third of patients, it is important to recognizethe high rate of morbidity in others. Most individuals passthrough a remitting phase but in a significant proportion theclinical manifestations subsequently recur, persist or slowlyprogress, and disability accumulates with time. Here we describethe frequency and spectrum of morbidity in a population basedcohort of patients with multiple sclerosis. These statisticswill guide those providing health care resources and planningservices for patients with multiple sclerosis.
