Best time for endoscopy in heart patients with stomach bleeding
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at when to perform an endoscopy (a camera test to look inside your stomach) in people who have both heart disease and stomach bleeding. If you take blood thinners for your heart and have a sudden stomach bleed, this study can help find the safest time for the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have coronary heart disease (blockages in the arteries of your heart)
- You take antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin or clopidogrel) for your heart
- You are having a stomach bleed that is not from enlarged veins (varices)
- You can safely undergo general anesthesia and an endoscopy

This study is testing the best timing for an endoscopy (a tube with a camera used to look inside your digestive system) in people with liver cirrhosis and bleeding from enlarged veins. It aims to improve outcomes for patients with this type of emergency bleeding.
This trial tests if a quick endoscopic exam of the upper digestive tract helps people who come to the hospital with maroon-colored or bloody stools. It may find the source of bleeding and guide treatment.
This trial compares having an endoscopy right away versus waiting a few hours for patients with cirrhosis and acute variceal bleeding. It aims to see which timing is safer and more effective.
This study compares bleeding after common endoscopic procedures (like colonoscopy or upper endoscopy) between people who take blood thinners and those who don't. It may help doctors better understand risks for patients on anticoagulants.
This trial is for high-risk patients having an upper or lower GI endoscopy (a scope exam). It measures how often heart damage occurs after the procedure, to help doctors understand and possibly prevent these complications.
This trial looks at how often bleeding happens after an upper scope (EGD) or colonoscopy in people who keep taking blood-thinning medicines during the procedure. The results may help doctors choose safer prep plans to lower bleeding risk.
