Mesenteric Ultrasound

This ultrasound assesses the mesenteric arteries, which supply blood to the intestines. A blockage in these vessels can lead to chronic mesenteric ischemia, causing:

• Abdominal pain after eating
• Unintended weight loss
• Malabsorption or digestive problems

Though relatively uncommon, it’s a serious condition that can be evaluated non-invasively with mesenteric ultrasound. If a blockage is confirmed, treatment may involve angioplasty, stenting, or surgical bypass.
