Diagnostic Testing
Mesenteric Arterial
Duplex
ultrasound is used to assess the main mesenteric (abdominal) arteries for
significant obstruction in at least two of the three vessels.
Indications for this exam: Extreme cramping of the abdomen shortly after a meal. If this condition exists, cramping would be a constant symptom after eating. Other causes may exist which could also cause this type of cramping. Ultrasound is an excellent tool to non-invasively assess these arteries.
