The embolus should be removed if possible.

This involves embolectomy and revascularisation of the gut immediately. If this is impossible or unsuccessful then the infarcted gut must be removed surgically.

Secondary prevention includes:

  • anticoagulation
  • control of any condition such as atrial fibrillation
  • aspirin therapy - 75 mg per day
