Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is an incapacitating disease with a vast impact on quality of life due to severe abdominal pain after a meal, resulting in fear of eating and subsequent weight loss. CMI is most frequently caused by an atherosclerotic mesenteric artery stenosis, which is a frequent finding in the general population (6-29%). CMI is less prevalent due to an extensive collateral circulation protecting the gut against ischemia. Hence, imaging alone cannot be relied upon, making the diagnosis of CMI challenging. Treatment decisions for atherosclerotic CMI are currently based on history, stenosis severity on imaging, and signs of mesenteric ischemia during a functional test. Yet, sufficiency of the collateral circulation cannot be assessed, resulting in substantial failure to recover from symptoms after stentplacement (27-31% in single vessel disease), unnecessary complicatio
