Utility of multidetector CT in an emergency setting in acute mesenteric ischemia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prompt diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia is a dilemma which is unfortunately generally made at the irreversible phase of intestinal damage. Besides conventional diagnostic imaging modalities contrast enhanced multidetector computed tomography angiography enables fast and detailed evaluation of the mesenteric circulation and abdominal viscera which provides accurate and rapid diagnosis in the emergency room.

UNLABELLED Mesenteric ischaemia comprises a broad, heterogeneous group of diseases characterised by inadequate blood supply to the small or large bowel. Acute mesenteric ischaemia is a surgical emergency, with significant associated morbidity and mortality. Because the clinical presentation of mesenteric ischaemia is variable and often nonspecific, a high index of clinical and radiologic suspic...

متن کاملMulti-detector angio-CT and the use of D-dimer for the diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia in geriatric patients.
BACKGROUND There is no specific laboratory method for the diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI). In this study, we aimed to determine the efficacy of the D-dimer test in selected cases prior to multi-detector angio-CT, which is expensive and has side effects. METHODS Patients, over 65, with abdominal pain were included in this study. The D-dimer test was applied to 230 (34%) of 676 abd...
