Mesenteric venous thrombosis, characterized by acute, subacute, or chronic thrombosis in the superior or inferior mesenteric vein and branches, poses a significant risk of life-threatening intestinal infarction, accounting for 5% to 15% of mesenteric ischemic events. Patients with mesenteric venous thrombosis present with a range of signs and symptoms, from mild abdominal pain to hemodynamic instability secondary to septic shock. Mesenteric venous thrombosis may occur due to a primary coagulopathy or an underlying infectious, traumatic, or inflammatory condition. The acuity and extent of the thrombus will dictate the course of the disease and the recommended intervention. However, delays in diagnosis and treatment cause significant increases in morbidity and mortality.This activity for healthcare professionals reviews the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, evaluation, management, and complications of acute, subacute, and chronic mesenteric venous thrombosis. The activity also highlights the critical role of the interprofessional team in improving outcomes for patients with mesenteric venous thrombosis.
