Intestinal biopsies were taken from the pelvic flexure in all large colon cases and in small colon cases that underwent intraoperative euthanasia. Measurements were compared between survivors and nonsurvivors, and the correlation between LDFS and (immuno)histology was tested (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .05).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sc_a3\">\n<jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The tS<jats:sc>o<\/jats:sc><jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> and tBF were clearly lower and tHB was higher than previously reported in healthy horses. Following correction of the lesion, pelvic flexure tBF was significantly lower than that of the left ventral colon. Prior to correction of the lesion, microperfusion did not differ between survivors and nonsurvivors, but following release of the strangulation the survivors had a significantly higher tS<jats:sc>o<\/jats:sc><jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> and tBF compared to the nonsurvivors. There was a negative correlation between tBF and interstitium-to-crypt ratio and a positive correlation between tHB and the histological hemorrhage score.
