Covered versus bare-metal stenting of the mesenteric arteries in patients with chronic mesenteric ischaemia (CoBaGI): a multicentre, patient-blinded and investigator-blinded, randomised controlled trial.

Terlouw LG, van Dijk LJD, van Noord D, Bakker OJ, Bijdevaate DC, Erler NS et al, on behalf of the Dutch Mesenteric Ischemia Study Group.

Lancet Gastrohepatol 2024; 9: 299-309.

Ninety-four patients with chronic mesenteric ischaemia were included. Only one patient died. After 24 months, the patency of covered stents was better than bare metal stents: 81 versus 49 per cent, P<0.0001. Access site adverse events were more common in covered stent procedures.

Comment: This study does not address whether symptoms were improved alongside patency.
