About this trial
Vascular bowel disease remains a socially significant and potentially fatal condition (if it develops into AMI), primarily due to delayed diagnosis. Blood biomarkers are theoretically ideal for early risk stratification (like troponins in myocardial infarction). However, the existing evidence base is characterized by low quality and high heterogeneity, which hinders their use in clinical practice. Therefore, there is an urgent and unmet clinical need for high-quality, methodologically rigorous research to validate biomarkers in MI. A current study (MESMARK) is to be undertaken to identify combinations of biomarkers that can reliably identify mesenteric ischemia (MI) and distinguish between non-transmural and transmural clinical relevant ischemia.
