Mesenteric/celiac duplex ultrasound interpretation criteria revisited

BackgroundSeveral published studies with a small sample size have reported differing results of duplex ultrasound (DUS) utilizing different threshold velocities in detecting significant stenosis of superior mesenteric (SMA) or celiac arteries (CA). The present study is based on the largest number of mesenteric duplex/angiography correlations reported to date for the diagnosis of SMA/CA stenosis.MethodsOne hundred fifty-three patients (151 SMA...
