Summary

Chronic meseteric ischemia (CMI) is a disease characterized by an insufficient blood supply to the intestines due to a narrowing (stenosis) of one or multiple intestinal arteries. The primary symptom is abdominal pain especially during meal digestion. Currently the diagnosis of CMI is heavily reliant on the exclusion of differential diagnoses. With this study we wish to evaluate whether a newer CT technology called dual-energy CT (DECT) may be able to visualize this altered blood flow during meal consumption.

Conditions

  • Bowel; Ischemic, Chronic
  • Tomography, X-Ray Computed
  • Dual-energy CT

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Dual-energy CT

CMI patients planned for endovascular stent placement will be contacted and informed about this study prior to their procedure. If they wish to take part in the study, then a date for a pre-operative DECT scan will be arranged. Before scanning the patient will be given a standardized calorie dense drink (Nutridrink). This will take place one week prior to their surgical procedure. Following the surgical procedure, the patient will undergo another DECT scan before discharge.
