Clinical Trial: Translesional PRESSURE Measurements to Assess Clinical Relevance of a Mesenteric Artery Stenosis (PRESSURE-study)

U.S., July 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07059520) titled 'Translesional PRESSURE Measurements to Assess Clinical Relevance of a Mesenteric Artery Stenosis (PRESSURE-study)' on July 01.

Brief Summary: Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is an incapacitating disease with a vast impact on quality of life due to severe abdominal pain after a meal, resulting in fear of eating and subsequent weight loss. CMI is most frequently caused by an atherosclerotic mesenteric artery stenosis, which is a frequent finding in the general population (6-29%). CMI is less prevalent due to an extensive collateral circulation protecting the gut against ischemia.

Hence, imaging alone cannot be relied upon, making t...
