Q

A 66-year-old man is admitted to ITU following complications during his recent coronary artery bypass grafting. He is intubated and ventilated but his doctors notice abdominal distension and elevation of his inflammatory markers and arterial blood sampling shows elevation of his serum lactate. He undergoes a CT scan which shows mucosal hyperenhancement and thumbprinting of the transverse colon and splenic flexure.
Which of the following is the most likely explanation for these findings?
Coeliac axis stricture
Hypotension
Inferior mesenteric artery thrombus
Internal iliac artery stricture
Superior mesenteric artery thrombus

60
Q

A 76-year-old lifelong smoker visits his GP complaining of intermittent crampy abdominal pain. His GP suspects he may have mesenteric angina and arranges for a gastroenterological review as well as a CT mesenteric angiogram. The CT suggests ischaemia affecting the descending colon and splenic flexure.
Which of the following findings would be most consistent with a diagnosis of mesenteric angina?
Mesenteric vein gas
Mural thickening
Pneumatosis coli
Portal venous gas
Smooth stricture

A

Smooth stricture

Mesenteric angina is a clinical syndrome caused by episodic sup-optimal perfusion of the small or large bowel.
This typically occurs in the post-prandial setting when the oxygen requirements of the stomach increase and it
‘steals’ the blood supply from the stenotic, compromised supply to the rest of the bowel. The radiological findings are akin to a chronic type of mesenteric ischaemia or ischaemic colitis. Chronic ischaemia leads to stricturing and, unlike malignant strictures, these will be smooth in nature. By contrast, the other features listed can all be found in an acute setting
