CT Angiography Followed by Endovascular Intervention for Acute Superior Mesenteric Artery Occlusion does not Increase Risk of Contrast-Induced Renal Failure

Creatinine values at admission and at discharge after endovascular intervention for acute SMA occlusion in 32 patients. Box plot graph showing median values and IQRs of creatinine. Line across the box indicate the median, the box represents IQR, and the whiskers are lines that extend from the box edge to the highest and lowest values, excluding outliers and^● extremes^∗. A significant decrease (p = 0.018) in creatinine values was found. Note the decreased variability of creatinine values at discharge.

Management and survival of patients with acute SMA occlusion in Malmö 2005–2009. Hybrid means both open and endovascular surgery. Performance of bowel resection was performed in five (62%)^#, four (66%)^¤ and five (17%)* patients, respectively.
