Oral antibiotics for acute mesenteric ischemia
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking oral antibiotics (gentamicin and metronidazole) can treat acute mesenteric ischemia caused by an artery blockage, instead of using IV antibiotics. It's for people who don't need emergency surgery and don't have a serious infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 90 years old.
- You have acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) caused by a blockage in the main artery feeding your small intestine and right colon.
- Symptoms started less than 7 days ago.
- You are admitted to the SURVI care network (Beaujon or Bichat hospital in Paris).
- You do NOT need emergency bowel surgery right now.
- You do NOT have a serious infection that needs IV antibiotics, and you haven't taken antibiotics in the last 7 days.

This study is looking for signs in the body (called biomarkers) after sudden loss of blood flow to the intestines. It involves getting a CT scan to check what is happening in the abdomen so the researchers can see which signals match intestinal injury.
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.
This study looks at how acute mesenteric ischemia (a condition where blood flow to the intestine is suddenly reduced) and its treatment affect quality of life. It aims to understand the long-term effects on patients treated between 2010 and 2022.
This trial is testing a new way to use CT scans to identify which parts of the bowel can still be saved in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia. It aims to help doctors make better decisions about whether surgery is needed.
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 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.
