Pressure test for blocked gut arteries (PRESSURE study)
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic mesenteric ischemia (long-term reduced blood flow to the gut).
- You are scheduled for an endovascular procedure (a catheter-based treatment) for the blocked gut artery.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can give informed consent (agree to take part).
- You are not pregnant and do not have acute (sudden) gut artery blockage.

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.
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 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 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 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 study looks at markers for mesenteric artery disease, a condition that affects blood flow to the intestines. It aims to improve diagnosis for people who may have this problem.
