Radiological Findings in Primary Intestinal Ischaemia

Completed

• Conditions: Acute Intestinal Ischemia
• Interventions: Radiation: Computerized tomography scan of the abdomen

• Registration Number: NCT04361110
• Lead Sponsor: Aalborg University Hospital

Brief Summary

To investigate which findings on a non-specific CT scan that predict acute primary intestinal ischaemia.

Detailed Description

48 patients with primary intestinal ischemia admitted in 4 consecutive years (2006-2009) in Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Aalborg University Hospital. Control group consists of 82 patients operated in the same department and in the same time range.

Abdominal CT scans are described with respect to intestinal diameter, changes in intestinal wall, extra intestinal changes and vessel pathology.
