Table. Endovascular treatment for AMI.

Treatment	Indication	Level of evidence
Arterial
Transfemoral aspiration embolectomy	Large embolus close to outlet	IIa, C
IA continuous drug perfusion (papaverine, prostavasin, heparin)	Peripheral embolism with no peritonitis	IIa, C
	nonocclusive ischemia
Local fibrinolysis (rt-PA)	Peripheral embolism with no peritonitis	IIa, C
	as diagnostic technique for cases of stenosis
Stent PTA	Stenoses and occlusions close to outlet	I, B
Portal venous (transjugular transhepatic)
Portal venous rechanneling	Ischemia of the wall of the intestine in cases of mesenteric/portal venous thrombosis	IV
Portal decompression (TIPS)	Portal hypertension with venous ischemia of the wall of the intestine caused by congestion	IV

AMI: acute mesenteric ischemia; IA: intraarterial; rt-PA: recombinant tissue plasminogen activator; PTA: percutaneous transluminal angioplasty; TIPS, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt
