U.S., March 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07486570) titled 'Anastomotic Leakage Prevention by Endovascular Stenting of the Superior Mesenteric Artery' on Jan. 20.

Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a severe complication of colon surgery, with an incidence of 2.7-11.9%. It is associated with long-term increased mortality, reduced quality of life, and high healthcare costs due to reoperations and prolonged hospitalization. Among colon cancer patients, 5-year survival rates are 70% for those with AL compared to 81% for those without.
