متن کاملRole of computed tomography angiography on the management of overt obscure gastrointestinal bleeding
BACKGROUND AND AIM The role of computed tomography angiography (CTA) on the management of acute overt obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) remains unclear. We designed a study to evaluate the impact of CTA before enteroscopy for acute overt OGIB. METHODS All patients undergoing CTA followed by enteroscopy for acute overt OGIB were enrolled in this retrospective study. Clinical characteris...
متن کاملThe value of multidetector-row computed tomography for localization of obscure acute gastrointestinal bleeding.
PURPOSE There are no simple guidelines on when to perform multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) for diagnosis of obscure acute gastrointestinal bleeding (AGIB). We used a risk scoring system to evaluate the diagnostic power of MDCT for patients with obscure AGIB. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-two patients with obscure AGIB who were referred for an MDCT scan after unsuccessful endoscopic...
متن کاملLower gastrointestinal bleeding—Computed Tomographic Angiography, Colonoscopy or both?
BACKGROUND Lower endoscopy (LE) is the standard diagnostic modality for lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB). Conversely, computed tomographic angiography (CTA) offers an immediate non-invasive diagnosis visualizing the entire gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to compare these 2 modalities with regards to diagnostic value and bleeding control. METHODS Tertiary center retrosp...
