The NOMI group had a slightly higher percentage of patients with severe calcifications of the abdominal aorta and the major peripheral abdominal arteries. However, the percentage of patients with no or only minor calcifications was similar in patients with confirmed and ruled-out ischemia. Differences between the groups for the amount of calcification and minimal artery diameter were not statistically significant. In our patient population, there was no clear evidence of an association between abdominal plaque and the likelihood of bowel ischemia in patients with clinically suspected ischemia. However, this hypothesis needs to be tested in a larger collective.
