Testing thinking and memory after carotid artery treatment
This study checks how a carotid artery procedure affects thinking and memory. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with significant carotid artery narrowing seen on ultrasound, and you can safely do follow-up MRI scans.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05416385Recruiting
Stress echo scan with special contrast to study carotid plaque
This study uses a heart stress ultrasound test, plus a contrast dye, to look for new blood vessel growth inside carotid plaque (the buildup in neck arteries). It may help doctors better judge the risk of stroke and determine which people need closer care.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06031610Recruiting
Carotid artery opening study for brain health
This study tests if opening a narrowed carotid artery can reduce brain damage from small vessel disease. It may help patients with carotid artery narrowing prevent cognitive decline.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40–80 - NCT07370246Recruiting
Carotid stenting for high-risk carotid surgery patients
This trial tests whether placing a stent in the narrowed carotid artery is a good option for people who are at high risk for the standard surgery (carotid endarterectomy). If you have significant blockages in your neck arteries and certain health or anatomical factors that make surgery riskier, this study may be for you.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05134246Recruiting
Stent or procedure for narrowed carotid artery after neck radiation
This trial studies a carotid artery procedure (revascularization) to treat a major narrowing in the neck artery that happened after you had radiation for head or neck cancer. It may help prevent stroke risk by improving blood flow to the brain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07322913Recruiting
Study of Intervascular blood vessel grafts and patches
This study is collecting information from patients who have already had surgery to repair or replace blood vessels using Intervascular grafts or patches. Researchers will look at past medical records to see how well these devices work over time.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07296965Recruiting
Oral bacteria in carotid artery plaque study
This study looks at the bacteria living in your mouth and whether they are linked to plaque buildup in the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck). If you are already scheduled for surgery to remove that plaque, the researchers will take samples from your mouth and the plaque to compare them.
BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT06541691Recruiting
Aspirin for heart disease patients in polluted air
This study tests if different types of aspirin (coated or chewable) and a special schedule can help people with heart or blood vessel disease when they are exposed to air pollution. If you live in Tehran and have stable heart disease, you may be able to join.
Tehran, Tehran ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT06882954Recruiting
Managing Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis
This trial studies the best way to treat people who have a high-grade blockage in their carotid artery but no symptoms. It focuses on blockages greater than 80% with signs of unstable plaque to prevent future strokes.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06887894Recruiting
Studying unstable plaque in the carotid artery
This trial looks at specific markers in the blood to better understand unstable plaque in the carotid artery. It may help doctors identify which patients are at higher risk for stroke.
