Compare two stents for chronic artery-related gut pain
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an uncovered stent or a covered stent works better for treating chronic mesenteric ischemia (reduced blood flow to the intestines from artery narrowing). It’s meant for adults with symptoms and scans showing significant narrowing in a specific gut artery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re over 18 years old
- Your gut symptoms fit chronic reduced blood flow (pain, weight loss, and/or diarrhea)
- Your scans show serious narrowing in the superior mesenteric artery (more than 50%)
- Your doctors plan to treat you using a catheter-based procedure through blood vessels
- You have not had a stent placed in that same artery before
- The artery blockage is not too long (4 cm or less), and the team can pass a guide wire through it

This study compares two stent-placing techniques for people with a specific type of complex heart blockage at a branch point. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for opening up the artery.
This study looks at how blood flows and carries oxygen to the gut in people with narrowing of the arteries that supply the intestines. It aims to better understand the condition and possibly improve care.
This trial tests if placing a small mesh tube (stent) in a major artery can prevent leaks where the colon is reconnected during surgery. It may help people who have a blockage in that artery but no symptoms from it.
This study compares two approaches for treating chronic coronary syndrome (reduced blood flow to the heart causing chest pain). One approach combines a stent procedure with optimal medication, while the other uses only medications. The goal is to see which approach better prevents major heart problems over time.
This study compares two ways of choosing blood thinners after a heart stent procedure. It aims to see if using an imaging-guided strategy leads to better outcomes than usual care.
This trial compares two ways of placing stents in complex blockages in heart artery branches (smaller arteries branching off main ones). It aims to see which technique works better for this specific type of blockage.
