Capsule endoscopy versus endoscopy for anaemia after heart attack
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to look inside the digestive tract for bleeding in people who have had a heart attack and then developed anaemia. The goal is to find the source of bleeding so it can be treated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a capsule-sized camera can be used at home to check for stomach problems. It's for healthy people or those with stomach symptoms like pain, nausea, or bleeding.
This trial tests a wireless optical sensor capsule that you swallow to find the source of bleeding in your upper stomach or food pipe. It may help doctors diagnose upper gastrointestinal bleeding without a standard endoscopy tube.
This study looks back at results from a small camera pill (capsule endoscopy) used to find the source of bleeding in the digestive tract. It may help doctors better understand how well this test works for people with gastrointestinal bleeding.
This study uses a capsule endoscopy (a pill-sized camera you swallow) to look for hidden sources of bleeding in the small intestine of people who have iron deficiency anemia and take blood thinners. Finding the cause may help manage your anemia and avoid unnecessary repeat tests.
This trial tests a special camera-in-a-pill (capsule endoscopy) to find the cause of upper GI bleeding in emergency patients. It aims to offer a less invasive way to diagnose bleeding without a traditional endoscope.
This trial tests a new robot-assisted capsule (a tiny pill with a camera) to look at your small bowel for hidden causes of iron deficiency anemia. It may help find the source of bleeding without needing traditional endoscopy or surgery.
