Figure 1 Pathophysiology of acute mesenteric ischemia in cirrhosis.
This diagram outlines the multifactorial pathogenesis of acute mesenteric ischemia in patients with cirrhosis. Key contributing factors include impaired splanchnic autoregulation, systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and a fragile coagulation balance. These changes increase susceptibility to both occlusive and non-occlusive forms of mesenteric ischemia.
