    The study analyzed 102 patients with CT-confirmed acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) to evaluate CT findings and surgical outcomes.

  • 2

    Arterial occlusive AMI was the most common subtype, accounting for 57.8% of cases, followed by NOMI at 22.5%.

  • 3

    In-hospital mortality was 41.2%, while 30-day mortality reached 46.5%, including deaths after discharge.

  • 4

    Pneumatosis intestinalis showed the strongest association with intraoperative infarction or necrosis, but no CT finding had strong standalone discriminatory performance.

  • 5

    The study concluded that CT findings are clinically meaningful but should be interpreted within a comprehensive clinical context.
