Thrombosis of mesenterial veins was found to develop in 30 women and 28 men of the average age of 51 +/- 2.1 years. It was established that case history of ischemic heart disease, diseases of the liver, spleen, thrombotic lesions of vessels of different localization and splenectomy should be taken for conditions predisposing to the development of mesenterial vein thrombosis. Treatment of occlusive lesions of mesenterial veins must include not only resection of the infarction portions of the intestine, but also correction of protein-electrolytic disorders, nitrogenous and carbohydrate metabolism as well as liver function.
