Timing of endoscopy for stomach bleeding in heart patients on blood thinners
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at when to do a procedure called an endoscopy (a tube with a camera to look at your stomach) for people with heart disease who take blood thinners and have bleeding in their upper stomach. It aims to find the best timing to stop the bleeding and prevent more problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have bleeding in your upper stomach (not from varices, which are enlarged veins).

This study compares two timings for doing an endoscopy (a tube with a camera to look at your food pipe and stomach) for people with advanced liver disease who have bleeding from swollen veins. It aims to see if doing it right away is better than waiting a bit, to help stop bleeding and improve recovery.
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 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 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.
This study looks at whether heart damage can happen after a routine scope procedure (endoscopy) in patients who are already at high risk due to other health problems. If you are scheduled for endoscopy and have conditions like heart or lung disease, this trial may help doctors learn how to better protect your heart during the procedure.
This trial tests a medication to help stop bleeding in the upper part of the stomach and esophagus. It may offer a new option for people with this urgent condition.
