• Abstract:

  Much has been discussed about
  the relationship between Covid-19 infection
  and mesenteric ischemia. The present study
  aims to conduct a systematic review of the
  literature on the subject. This is a systematic
  review of the literature where data collection
  was performed in the PubMed (NCBI),
  Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Google
  Scholar databases, during October/2021.
  During the research conducted in these
  databases, 23 articles were selected that met
  the eligibility prerequisites of which 16 of
  them had full text available online and were
  included in this study. It is evident that acute
  mesenteric ischemia in the context of patients
  with Covid-19, even though it is a rare
  condition, has high morbidity and mortality.
  The exact pathophysiology of the condition
  and the factors that lead to the emergence of
  extrapulmonary and ischemic manifestations
  is still poorly understood, requiring further
  studies and discussions on the subject in order
  to foster knowledge, and mesenteric ischemia
  should be suspected in patients with Covid-19
  when they present sudden abdominal pain
  disproportionate to abdominal signs.
