Abstract

Background. The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare entity presenting with upper gastrointestinal tract obstruction and weight loss. Studies to determine the optimal methods of diagnosis and treatment are required. Aims and Methods. This study aims at analyzing the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of SMA syndrome. Ten cases of SMA syndrome out of 2074 esophagogastroduodenoscopies were suspected. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan was performed to confirm the diagnosis. After, a gastroenterologist and a nutritionist personalized the therapy. Furthermore, we compared the demographical, clinical, endoscopic, and radiological parameters of these cases with a control group consisting of 10 cases out of 2380 EGDS of initially suspected (but not radiologically confirmed) SMA over a follow-up 2-year period (2015-2016). Results. The prevalence of SMA syndrome was 0.005%. Median age and body mass index were 23.5 years and 21.5 kg/m2, respectively. Symptoms developed between 6 and 24 months. Median aortomesenteric angle and aorta-SMA distance were 22 and 6 mm, respectively. All patients improved on conservative treatment. In our series, a marked (>5 kg) weight loss (p=0.006) and a long-standing presentation (more than six months in 80% of patients) (p=0.002) are significantly related to a diagnosis of confirmed SMA syndrome at CECT after an endoscopic suspicion. A “resembling postprandial distress syndrome dyspepsia” presentation may be helpful to the endoscopist in suspecting a latent SMA syndrome (p=0.02). The narrowing of both the aortomesenteric angle (p=0.001) and the aortomesenteric distance (p<0.001) was significantly associated with the diagnosis of SMA after an endoscopic suspicion; however, the narrowing of the aortomesenteric distance seemed to be more accurate, rather than the narrowing of the aortomesenteric angle. Conclusion. SMA syndrome represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Our results show the following findings: the importance of the endoscopic suspicion of SMA syndrome; the preponderance of a long-standing and chronic onset; a female preponderance; the importance of the nutritional counseling for the treatment; no need of surgical intervention; and better diagnostic accuracy of the narrowing of the aorta-SMA distance. Larger prospective studies are needed to clarify the best diagnosis and management of the SMA syndrome.

Abstract

Background: Coronary angiography is actually the gold standard to visualize coronary artery bypass graft patency and to detect bypass stenoses. However, it is an invasive examination that makes use of X-ray emission and it may lead to deleterious effects even at low dosage. Therefore, it is still needed a non-invasive examination with good diagnostic accuracy for the follow-up of patients with coronary artery bypass grafts. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a 40-row multidetector computed tomography scanner for the assessment of bypass surgery versus coronary angiography., Methods: Twenty-six consecutive patients (20 male, 6 female, mean age 65 years) and a total number of 68 coronary bypass grafts (25 arterial and 43 venous grafts, 111 anastomoses) were examined by 40-row multidetector computed tomography., Results: It was possible to analyze coronary artery bypass graft patency for every patient. At coronary angiography 23 patients showed bypass stenoses or occlusion: 19 of them were correctly diagnosed by computed tomography (sensitivity 84%, specificity 100%). In particular, computed tomography showed a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 100% for coronary artery bypass grafts, whereas it showed a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 94% for anastomoses., Conclusions: On the basis of the results of our study, computed tomography is a valuable tool for assessing coronary artery bypass graft patency in patients with clinical suspect of coronary occlusion.

Abstract

Background: Multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography (MDCT-CA) is a non-invasive technique that clearly shows coronary anatomy and correctly identifies plaque location and morphology. In this study we assessed diagnostic accuracy of MDCT-CA in detectiong significant stenosis in patients with clinically relevant coronary tree disease., Methods: . Fifty patients (38 males, 12 females, mean age 60.9 +/- 9.2 years) with atypical chest pain, stable or unstable angina pectoris, or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction underwent MDCT-CA (Brilliance 40, Philips Medical Systems, Cleveland, OH, USA) within 3 days before diagnostic conventional coronary angiography. Inclusion criteria were sinus rhythm, heart rate <70 b/min, and ability to hold breath for more than 12 s. Exclusion criteria were known intolerance to contrast medium, serum creatinine >2 mg/dl, pregnancy, respiratory insufficiency, unstable clinical conditions, and severe heart failure. Beta-blockers were administered if heart rate was >70 b/min. To synchronize arrival of the contrast bolus (Iomeron 400, Bracco, Milan) in the coronary arteries with the start of the scan the bolus-tracking technique was used. Diagnostic accuracy was evaluated per segment, per vessel, and per patient., Results: Mean heart rate during examination was 61.9 +/- 6.2 b/min; 618 segments were evaluated. The assessment was impaired by respiratory artifacts only in 1 patient (2%). MDCT-CA showed good sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values in detecting significant coronary artery stenosis (94, 94, 91, and 96% per segment; 91, 97, 95, and 92% per vessel; 100, 100, 100, and 100% per-patient, respectively)., Conclusions: Forty-slice MDCT-CA showed a good diagnostic capability in detecting significant coronary artery stenosis in patients referred to our institution for suspected or known significant coronary artery disease.
