Differentiating the Four Types of Mesenteric Ischemia There are four types of AMI, which include arterial embolism (AE), arterial thrombosis (AT), venous thrombosis, and non-occlusive (NOMI). Originally it’s thought arterial embolism is most common, but now studies demonstrate approximately equal rates of arterial thrombosis and embolism (40%) [6]. The four etiologies are shown in table 1 (below), with symptoms, presentation, risk factors, incidence, and mortality. #Mesenteric #Ischemia #Types #Comparison #Table #Diagnosis
