Clinical Trial Summary

Intestinal obstruction is a frequent cause of emergency room visits and represents about 4-7% of the causes of acute abdominal pain syndrome and up to 30% in adults over 60 years old. Although 65 to 80% of patients are treated medically, small bowel obstruction remains a serious pathology, with a high mortality rate that can reach 25% in case of small bowel ischemia. It is necessary to systematically perform a CT scan in the initial workup of small bowel obstructions to confirm the diagnosis, identify the mechanism and detect signs of ischemia that would require emergency surgery. The best sign for the diagnosis of ischemia is the defect or asymmetry of parietal enhancement of the dilated small bowel. In the literature, this sign is described almost exclusively at portal time. In case of suspicion of mesenteric ischemia (another serious pathology affecting the small bowel), it is recommended to perform an examination with three acquisitions (without injection, arterial time, and portal time). The department's experience has shown that arterial time is sometimes more sensitive than portal time for visualizing a parietal enhancement defect of the small bowel in mechanical occlusions. Very few studies have investigated the diagnostic performance of parietal enhancement asymmetry on arterial time in mechanical occlusions of the small bowel.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Diagnostic performance of arterial versus portal phase in CT for the evaluation of parietal enhancement defect This ouctome corresponds to the evaluation of the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the acquisition for parietal enhancement defect as a sign of ischemia. Year 1
Secondary Inter-observer reproducibility of parietal enhancement defect analysis at arterial time This outcome corresponds to the evaluation of the Kappa coefficient of inter-observer reproducibility. Year 1
