Summary

This study investigates chronic mesenteric ischemia, a condition where blood flow to the gut is reduced, causing pain. Researchers will measure oxygen levels in the stomach and small intestine using a special scope before and after treatment. The goal is to better understand the disease and improve diagnosis. 100 adults with this condition are being followed for a year.
