Chronic mesenteric ischaemia (CMI) is an underdiagnosed but severe condition. Access to functional testing is often limited and the diagnosis is usually based primarily on symptoms and imaging. One of the functional tests available is measurement of the splanchnic blood flow (SBF). The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate if changes in the splanchnic perfusion after revascularization can be detected by measuring the SBF and hepatic vein oxygenation.
