Patients with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) are still confronted with high mortality. The diagnostic is challenging and difficult because of the unspecific symptomatology. The aim of this systematic scientific report on an extraordinary and uncommon single clinical case and its successful course was to demonstrate the great potential of a partially novel non-surgical approach including its periinterventional management. ⋯ Diagnostic of choice is the arterial mesentericography, which allows specifically to exclude vascular occlusion including the consequence of a prompt surgical approach. Simultaneously, using the setting of the mesenteric angiography catheter can be placed for initiation of regional vasodilating treatment in case of NOMI. Only this approach may avoid fatal outcome.
