We had a 70-something old lady transferred from another facility to us couple of weeks ago with similar situation. Her Dx was delayed too. We took her to OR, resected almost her entire SB with the exception of a portion of prox jej which also looked dusky but not dead, stapled off the 2 ends, put her on TPN in ICU. Took her back to OR for 2nd look 2 days later, had to resect some more of jej, anastomosed the 2 ends, back to ICU. She lived for 2-3 weeks afterwards.
 
What did u end up doing? He is young although outcome is dismal to say the least... What was the primary cause?
