Abdominal complications after cardiac surgery while relatively uncommon are associated with a significat mortality.Perioperative splanchnic ischemia appears to be an important cause of these compliations.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass on global and regional splanchnic blood flow using TEE and continuous gastric tonometry during CABG surgery
