VFI on mesenteric ischaemia with Prof R.H. Geelkerken and F Metz - Part 1/2

The first of a 2-part interview on mesenteric ischaemia with expert in the field professor Bob Geelkerken.

In this episode we talk about the different forms of mesenteric ischemia (acute, chronic, venous) and clinical challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Great to refresh or deepen your knowledge on this topic.

Please also check the show notes for literature references if you are interested. Keep an eye out for the second part of the interview which is focussed completely on median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) - and if it exists or not..!
