Blood flow and oxygen in the gut for narrowing of gut arteries
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have narrowing of the main gut artery (the superior mesenteric artery) diagnosed by a CT scan or ultrasound.
- You may or may not have pain after eating, but if you do, it's considered related to the narrowing.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form.
- You cannot have other serious illnesses, be very overweight (BMI over 30), have heart rhythm problems, low red blood cells, or be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You cannot have a pacemaker, metal objects in your body, or severe claustrophobia.

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 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 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 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.
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.
