Insights

Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is crucial for guiding catheter angiography in patients with acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB). Prompt CTA before intervention ensures successful treatment for severe bleeding events.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Vascular Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) is a common clinical emergency.
  • Identifying the bleeding source in severe LGIB can be challenging.
  • Timely diagnosis and intervention are critical for patient outcomes.

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.
In the initial assessment, a thorough review of the patient's medical history is vital to identify risk factors such as liver disease, alcohol...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...
