Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract makes up a large portion of the intracavitary abdominal organs. The arterial and venous supply of the lower esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small bowel, and colon seldom cause major ischemic problems. However, major ischemic problems are cause for significant concern when they occur on an acute basis. The chronic vascular obstructive process is much less dramatic and may go unnoticed until profound effects (e.g., weight loss and abdominal pain) take place. The liver, pancreas, and spleen may also have occlusive vascular disease on both arterial and venous bases. We concentrate in this chapter on the gastrointestinal tract and to a lesser degree on the liver and pancreas.
