Summary
This is a single-center, randomized pilot study evaluating the feasibility and safety of two management strategies for patients on antithrombotic therapy who present with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). Participants will be randomized to either repeated endoscopic evaluations or a conservative medical approach with limited testing. The study aims to assess whether conservative management yields similar clinical outcomes and quality of life compared to standard repeated endoscopic procedures. Results will inform the design of a larger trial and address the current lack of guidelines for managing recurrent iron-deficiency anemia in this patient population.
