Can a duodenal stricture cause ischemic colitis?

Ischemic colitis is a condition that occurs when there is a lack of blood flow to the colon, which can lead to damage to the colon wall and tissue death. It is not directly caused by a duodenal stricture, which is a narrowing of the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. While duodenal strictures can cause a variety of symptoms, such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, they do not typically cause ischemic colitis.
