Abstract
Treatment of CGI, diagnosed by a multimodal approach, provides a substantial long-term rate of response (70% in 13 months). Weight loss, abdominal bruit, and low corpus mucosal saturation identify patients most likely to respond to treatment. Multiple techniques should therefore be used to assess patients with CGI, including VLS measurements, to detect mucosal hypoxia.
