Mesentric ischemia
Detailed Answer:
HI, Madam,
I have carefully read your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms in your case point to Mesentric ischemia.
This occurs due to atherosclerotic obstruction to blood vessels in the gut vasculature.
It can present with post prandial pain and occasionally bloody stools.
Lovonex can cause prompt relief by dissoluting the formed blood clot.
D dimer can be elevated in such conditions.Post therapy this d dimer can return to its baseline values.
Definitive diagnostic procedure for this would be an abdominal angiography.
Selective cases are dealt with insitu stent placement.
Drugs like Clopilet and Ecosprin when taken on daily basis in low doses can prevent such vascular thrombotic episodes on long term.
These drugs should be taken only under strict medical supervision.
I hope this info is helpful to you.
Thank you


Heparin can prevent such clots
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes the medicine will dissolve spontaneously in the vein.
Keep a note on the pulse and colour of the arm.
In case of feeble pulse or pallor,report to ER to consult your Doctor.
Drugs particularly low molecular weight heparin and ecosprin can prevent the clot formation.
I hope this info is helpful to you.
Thank you


Its my pleasure to serve you
