Randomised controlled trial of early magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy for the prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients at high bleeding risk scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention: MACE-GPS study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Limited data are available regarding the decision-making process for preventing gastrointestinal bleeding in patients at high risk of bleeding scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention (HBPCI), especially due to the lack of a simple, accurate and sensitive methods for gastrointestinal injury detection. This randomised trial aims to assess the effects of early magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) in patients with HBPCI for the prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding compared with conventional management.

Methods and analysis

The Magnetic-Assisted Capsule Endoscopy Gastrointestinal bleeding Protection Strategy (MACE-GPS) is a multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial. Patients admitted for HBPCI will be randomised and placed into two s
