Abstract
Background: Chronic mesenteric ischemia can be difficult to diagnose using currently available clinical technologies. We developed a novel endoscopic device for objective measurement of gastrointestinal mucosal ischemia. Objective: Evaluate the performance of the device in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia. Design: A fiberoptic catheter based visible light spectroscopy oximeter (T-Stat 303 Microvascular Oximeter, Spectros Corporation) was used to evaluate thirty normal controls and three patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia before and after successful percutaneous stenting.
