Evaluation of celiac artery blood flow in children with chronic active gastritis

Purpose: Knowledge on gastric blood flow in children with chronic gastritis is scarce. In this study, we aimed to evaluate hemodynamic changes of the celiac artery (CA), in children with chronic gastritis assessed using trans-abdominal duplex Doppler ultrasonography. Methods: We examined 36 children...

Description
Summary:Purpose: Knowledge on gastric blood flow in children with chronic gastritis is scarce. In this study, we aimed to evaluate hemodynamic changes of the celiac artery (CA), in children with chronic gastritis assessed using trans-abdominal duplex Doppler ultrasonography. Methods: We examined 36 children (group 1) with chronic active gastritis (diagnosed by endoscopy and histology) and 28 asymptomatic control children (group 2) with duplex Doppler ultrasonography. Children with chronic gastritis were classified again according to the severity of inflammation and the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection. Mean peak systolic velocity (PSV), enddiastolic velocity (EDV), resistive index (RI), and pulsatility index (PI) of the CA were compared. Results: The mean PSV and the mean EDV were significantly lower in patients than in controls (p
