MESENTERIC THROMBOSIS ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTICS
Despite the fact that the first report on the occlusive lesion of mesenteric arthritis was published 150 years ago, and after a successful reconstructive operation, more than 50 years have passed, the death rates in this category of patients are among the highest and constitute up to the present 85-100%. Unfortunately, the nonspecificity of the revealed signs of ischemia of the intestine, the rarity of the diagnosis of mesenteric arteries and the inaccessibility of special equipment for general hospital facilities do not allow computed tomography and magnetic resonance angiography to take a leading place in the diagnosis of acute occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery. Thus, timely ultrasound diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia is not only an urgent scientific problem, but is also a practical necessity. To date, in the studies of various authors, the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis of this pathology is ambiguous in its results.
