Simultaneous measurement of intestinal blood flow and plasma levels of vasoactive substances in a case of early dumping syndrome. Case report.
Increase in intestinal blood flow was observed in a patient with postprandial hypotension. Simultaneous measurement of hemodynamic parameters and plasma levels of gut hormones revealed that the release of various vasoactive substances and resulting vasodilation of abdominal organs were responsible for the vasomotor changes of early dumping syndrome.
