'''There are separate codes for different parts of the ischemic gut''': 
*The following 3 items refer to ischemia of the intestines, including small bowel (including duodenem), or colon, rectum, anus
** [[Mesenteric ischemia, acute]]
** [[Mesenteric ischemia, chronic]]
** [[Mesenteric ischemia, NOS]]
* For ischemia of the stomach -- use [[Disorder of stomach or duodenum, NOS]] 
* For ischemia of the liver -- use [[Disorder of liver, NOS]]
* For ischemia of the esophagus --- use [[Disorder of esophagus, NOS]]
*Thus, these various codes variously cover the following concepts:
** "ischemic bowel"
** "ischemic gut"
** "mesenteric arterial thrombosis, embolism or thromboembolism"
** "mesenteric vein thrombosis, embolism or thromboembolism"
** "mesenteric arterial atherosclerosis"
*But these codes do NOT include:
**The '''cause''' of that ischemia/infarction. As usual, if the cause is known, link the code for the cause to the relevant code as above for the ischemia, e.g: [[Atherosclerosis of arteries, NOS]], [[Thrombosis or embolism of artery, NOS]], [[Septic Thrombosis or Embolism, NOS]], [[Disorder of artery/arteries, NOS]]
**GI arterial disorders in the absence of mesenteric ischemia/infarction.
