Description
CT signs and surgical findings in gut ischemia are compared by Andrea Cavallaro and colleagues in a 2026 single-center cohort. The study gathered 102 adults with CT-confirmed acute mesenteric ischemia admitted from January 2018 through February 2026.
Patients were sorted into arterial, venous, non-occlusive, and mechanical subtypes, and eight set scan findings were scored, from bowel wall gas to free air and poor wall enhancement. The main endpoint was dead or irreversibly damaged bowel found at surgery. Because this emergency kills largely through delay, knowing which scan features truly forecast unsalvageable bowel could sharpen decisions on when and how widely to operate.
