Abstract

Acute mesenteric ischemia is defined as an inadequate blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract resulting in ischemic and inflammatory injury that may progress to necrosis of the bowel wall. Prognosis is poor with a mortality rate greater than 95% without treatment, dropping to around 70% when surgical treatment is performed. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) has become the cornerstone of the diagnosis by showing features of vascular disorders (occlusion and/or insufficient blood supply) and features of intestinal ischemic injury. CT should be performed as rapidly as possible. Imaging-based patient management is required, and multimodal and multidisciplinary management should be introduced. The treatment involves multidisciplinary management by gastroenterologists, vascular and digestive surgeons, cardiologists, intensivists, and diagnostic and interventional radiologists. Based on our experience at a dedicated mesenteric stroke center, this article gives an overview of the diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia. The goal of this review is to improve the understanding of the imaging-based diagnosis to further improve the management of this life-threatening condition.

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.
