Check tests to find chronic bowel blood flow problems early
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to promote early diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischemia, a condition where the intestines don’t get enough blood over time. If you’re being evaluated for this problem, the trial may help ensure the right diagnosis happens sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- A doctor is concerned you might have chronic mesenteric ischemia and referred you to one of the study centers
- You can understand the study and give informed consent
- You have a CT scan available that you can safely receive
- You have not had previous procedures to reopen the mesenteric arteries

This trial checks if a pressure measurement across a narrowed gut artery helps doctors decide if treatment is needed. It may help people with chronic gut artery blockages who are already scheduled for a procedure.
This study tests a blood marker for chronic mesenteric ischemia (poor blood flow to the gut). If it works, it could help doctors diagnose the condition faster and more easily.
This study looks at how blood flows through the main vein of the liver (portal vein) in people with chronic narrowing of the gut's blood vessels. It may help doctors understand why some people get belly pain after eating.
This study follows adults with intestinal blood-flow problems (from artery or vein issues) to better understand these conditions. It may help doctors plan future diagnosis and treatments for people with sudden or long-lasting intestinal ischemia.
This pilot study looks at markers in your blood that might help doctors tell if you have a serious bowel condition called acute mesenteric ischemia. You may be asked to participate if you have severe belly pain and need a special CT scan to check for this condition.
This trial is looking for biomarkers (clues in your blood) that can help doctors predict acute mesenteric ischemia, a condition where blood flow to your gut is suddenly blocked. It may help find better ways to diagnose this serious condition early.
