Abstract
- Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a rare vascular disease characterized by a high mortality rate with untimely diagnosis and treatment. The overall incidence is low, estimated at 0.09–0.2 % of all hospital admissions to emergency departments. One of the causes of acute mesenteric ischemia is acute arterial thrombosis, which is most common in the elderly.The problem of early diagnosis of acute mesenteric thrombosis is still relevant due to a non-specific clinical features. Computed tomography angiography (CT angiography) of the abdominal aorta and its branches is characterized by high sensitivity (85–98 %) and specificity (91–100 %). Computed tomography angiography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia.The article discusses the use of computed tomography angiography (CT angiography) for visualization of acute mesenteric thrombosis.
