Abstract

Background: The clinical relevance of splanchnic artery stenosis is often unclear. Gastric exercise tonometry enables the identification of patients with actual gastrointestinal ischaemia. A large group of patients with splanchnic artery stenosis was studied using standard investigations, including tonometry. Methods: Patients referred with possible intestinal ischaemia were analysed prospectively, using duplex imaging, conventional abdominal angiography and tonometry. All results were discussed within a multidisciplinary team. Results: Splanchnic stenoses were found in 157 (49·7 per cent) of 316 patients; 95 patients (60·5 per cent) had one-vessel, 54 (34·4 per cent) two-vessel and eight (5·1 per cent) had three-vessel disease. Chronic splanchnic syndrome was diagnosed in 107 patients (68·2 per cent), 54 (57 per cent) with single-vessel, 45 (83 per cent) with two-vessel and all eight with three-vessel stenoses. Treatment was undertaken in 95 patients, 62 by surgery and 33 by endovascular techniques. After a median follow-up of 43 months, 84 per cent of patients were symptom free. Conclusion: Gastric exercise tonometry proved crucial in the evaluation of possible intestinal ischaemia. Comparing patients with single- and multiple-vessel stenoses, there were significant differences in clinical presentation and mortality rates.

  • Patients may develop symptoms even with single vessel involvement.

    “But patients may develop symptoms even with single vessel involvement[35] and many patients with two vessel disease may remain asymptomatic for many years because of extensive collaterals in the mesenteric circulation[36].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
