Introduction: Isolated mesenteric artery dissection (IMAD) is uncommon and has not been investigated in detail. This study aimed to accurately identify the morphological differences of IMAD patients with control individuals using a detailed 3D volumetric analysis.
Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, cases were patients with acute symptomatic IMAD treated in a French intestinal stroke center between January 2016 and November 2019.
Purpose: To characterize remodeling of conservatively treated isolated mesenteric artery dissection (IMAD) using 3-dimensional (3D) volumetric analysis.
Material And Methods: Patients with Type I/II (classification of Yun) treated by conservative therapy between January 2018 and January 2020 were prospectively included. Semiautomatic morphological analysis of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) included volumetric measurements of the true lumen (TL), false lumen (FL), and overall lumen (OL) and 3D aortomesenteric angles from computed tomography angiography data at admission (T0), 1 month (T1), and 12 months (T12).
