Insights
This study details intestinal angina symptoms in 243 patients with chronic occlusive disease of visceral arteries. It covers diagnostic challenges, particularly angiography, and criteria for arterial reconstructive surgery.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Gastroenterology
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Chronic occlusive disease of visceral arteries can lead to intestinal angina.
- Understanding the diverse clinical presentations is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the varied symptoms of intestinal angina.
- To discuss diagnostic challenges, including angiography.
- To outline indications for reconstructive arterial surgery.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 243 patients with chronic occlusive disease of visceral arteries.
- Clinical symptom evaluation.
- Review of diagnostic procedures, focusing on angiography.
- Assessment of surgical indications.
Main Results:
- Detailed description of symptoms associated with intestinal angina.
- Identification of key diagnostic difficulties, especially with angiography.
- Established criteria for selecting patients for reconstructive arterial surgery.
Conclusions:
- Accurate symptom recognition is vital for diagnosing intestinal angina.
- Angiography plays a critical role but presents diagnostic challenges.
- Careful patient selection is necessary for successful reconstructive arterial surgery.
Abstract:
Based on the experience with 243 patients with chronic occlusive disease of the visceral arteries, the different symptoms of intestinal angina are described. Problems concerning diagnostic procedures, especially angiography, and indication for reconstructive arterial surgery are discussed.
