CTA and MRA in mesenteric ischemia: part 2, Normal findings and complications after surgical and endovascular treatment

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2007 Feb;188(2):462-71. doi: 10.2214/AJR.05.1168.

Abstract

Objective: A number of surgical and endovascular options exist for the treatment of acute and chronic mesenteric ischemia. Both surgical and endovascular treatments necessitate close clinical and imaging follow-up because the consequences of acute occlusions can be catastrophic. MDCT angiography (CTA) and contrast-enhanced MR angiography (MRA) are the preferred imaging techniques in this setting.

Conclusion: We review the appearance of the normal and complicated surgical and endovascular treatment on CTA and MRA.
