Actually I just posted this on April 15th. The CTA showed nothing wrong however I researched how the test is supposed to be performed for diagnosing MALS and I think it might have been done wrong. I asked her doctor to order a duplex ultrasound to see how the blood flows through her veins and expressed that I still think it's a vascular or even a nerve condition. Her doctor is standing by the radiologists interpretation of the CTA and said that the ultrasound would not show anything because gas or bowels would block the view. She just wants to send her to another GI doctor. I'm pursuing other doctors on my own to explore the possibility of it being MALS or maybe a nerve condition because this is the only condition I can find that matches her symptoms to the letter.
