Treatment of Ischemic Enteritis
Emergency medical care is necessary. In mild cases, antibiotics and a liquid diet can be administered while monitoring for complications. Some patients may need "clot-buster" medications through an IV or a targeted procedure using a wire in the bloodstream. Other blood thinners may be used to prevent clot recurrence. Severe cases may require surgery to remove parts of dead intestines.
