CTA and MRA in Mesenteric Ischemia: Part 2, Normal Findings and Complications After Surgical and Endovascular Treatment

Shih MC, Angle JF, Leung DA, Cherry KJ, Harthun NL, Matsumoto AH, Hagspiel KD.

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.
