[Diagnostic aspects of ischemic abdominal visceropathy]

Area of Science:

• Vascular Surgery
• Gastroenterology
• Diagnostic Imaging

Context:

• Atherosclerosis of unpaired abdominal aorta branches can lead to ischemic abdominal visceropathy, impacting the digestive system.
• Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of this condition.
• Limited data exists on combined diagnostic approaches for this specific patient cohort.

Purpose:

• To analyze the clinical presentation and diagnostic findings in patients with abdominal aortic atherosclerosis and digestive system involvement.
• To develop and propose a comprehensive diagnostic scheme for abdominal atherosclerosis affecting visceral organs.
• To improve the diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in a hospital setting.

Summary:

• Investigated 60 patients with atherosclerosis of abdominal aorta branches affecting the digestive system (ischemic abdominal visceropathy).
• Analyzed clinical data and results from instrumental and laboratory investigations.
• Developed a combined diagnostic scheme integrating clinical and instrumental methods for hospital use.

Impact:

• Provides a structured approach for diagnosing abdominal atherosclerosis with visceral complications.
• Aims to enhance early detection and management of ischemic abdominal visceropathy.
• Facilitates improved patient outcomes through timely and accurate diagnosis.
