NCT ID NCT03896399
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a temporary blood-flow restriction procedure (ischemic conditioning) done about two weeks before esophageal cancer surgery. It included 22 patients with artery calcifications who were at higher risk for leaks where the new connection is made.
