    Abstract:
    The syndrome of intestinal angina is rare and can be effectively treated by revascularization of the obstructed arteries. Usually the time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis is several months. Because of abdominal pain and loss of weight, abdominal malignancy is often suspected. At present there is no specific diagnostic test, and angiography with two projections is necessary. During the last decade 373 patients with intestinal angina have been reported. Our group presents two patients who have been operated on. After a follow-up of 18 and 19 months respectively, they are still without symptoms.
