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 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 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.
This trial compares two ways to treat blockages in a heart artery split (bifurcation) that are not in the left main artery. It tests whether a drug-coated balloon works as well as a stent for the side branch of the split.
This trial compares two types of small mesh tubes (scaffolds and stents) to open blocked heart arteries. It is for people having a specific kind of heart attack or unstable angina who need a stent.
This study compares two treatment approaches for chronic coronary syndrome (narrowed heart arteries): adding a stent procedure to standard medications versus medications alone. The goal is to see which approach better prevents heart attacks and other serious heart events.
