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+ - NCT06303414Recruiting
Opening blocked carotid artery for ongoing symptoms
This trial tests a procedure to open a blocked carotid artery in the neck to improve blood flow to the brain. It's for people who still have symptoms (like weakness or vision problems) despite medical treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06058676Enrolling by invitation
Predicting blood flow changes after carotid stenting
This study looks at why some people have too much blood flow to the brain after a procedure to open a blocked neck artery. It uses special tests to check how well your brain controls its own blood flow, with the goal of predicting and preventing problems.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07062471Recruiting
Shockwave balloon treatment for hardened carotid arteries before stenting
This study tests a special balloon that uses sound waves to break up calcium buildup in the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) before placing a stent. It's for people who are at high risk for traditional surgery and have heavy calcium deposits in their artery.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07078370Enrolling by invitation
Testing a lab-made blood vessel for heart bypass surgery
This trial tests a lab-made blood vessel (called an ATEV) used as a bypass graft during heart surgery. The ATEV is designed for people who don't have enough healthy leg vein for standard bypass grafts, and it may help restore blood flow to the heart more safely.
PoznanAges 45–75 - NCT03344276Recruiting
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+ - NCT04271033Recruiting
MicroNet-covered stent to prevent stroke in carotid procedures
This study tests a special stent (a small mesh tube) that may help prevent stroke during a carotid revascularization procedure. It’s for people with narrowing in the carotid artery, either recently symptomatic or very high-grade even without symptoms.
Krakow, MaloplskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04973579Recruiting
Stent plus heart surgery for high risk carotid patients
This trial looks at whether doing carotid artery stenting at the same time as heart surgery is safe and effective for people at high risk of stroke around the time of surgery. It targets people with significant carotid narrowing who also need heart surgery for specific heart problems.
KrakowAges 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+ - NCT05539781Recruiting
Blood flow and brain function monitoring after carotid procedure
This trial studies how blood flow and brain function change after a carotid artery revascularization procedure (opening a narrowed carotid artery). It may help doctors understand what to expect after treatment, especially in people with significant artery narrowing.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT05628948Recruiting
Donate blood for a heart and metabolism research biobank
This study builds a “biobank,” which is a collection of blood and related samples, to support future research on heart and metabolic (sugar/body-fat) conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future prevention and treatments.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05800821Recruiting
Predicting brain blood-flow problems after carotid surgery
This study uses deep learning to predict which people are at risk for “cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome” (a dangerous spike in brain blood flow) after carotid revascularization. If you qualify, they’ll use scans/tests to estimate your risk so doctors can watch you more closely if needed.
MinskAges 30–80 - 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 - NCT06253962Recruiting
Can carotid artery scans predict heart disease?
This study looks at whether ultrasound scans of the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) can help predict blockages in the heart arteries. If you are getting both a carotid ultrasound and a heart angiogram, you may be able to join.
ShanghaiAges 14–90 - NCT06276374Recruiting
Dual antiplatelet therapy after carotid artery stenting for high bleeding risk
This trial tests if taking two blood thinners (dual antiplatelet therapy) after a carotid artery stenting procedure is safe and effective for patients who have a higher risk of bleeding. It focuses on people with significant blockages in the neck arteries who are also at increased risk for serious bleeding or brain bleeds.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06528717Recruiting
Keeping blood flow to the face during carotid artery surgery
This study tests whether a special technique to keep blood flowing through a small branch of the carotid artery during surgery helps people recover better after having the main blockage removed. It may be a good option if you have a significant narrowing in your carotid artery and are planning to have surgery to fix it.
BelgradeAges 50–90 - 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+ - NCT06546761Recruiting
Heart imaging after carotid artery treatment
This study tests whether imaging the heart's arteries with a special CT scan can help find hidden blockages in people who just had treatment for a blocked carotid artery. It aims to prevent future heart problems.
RigaAges 50 years+ - NCT06653387Recruiting
Testing a new carotid stent with blood-flow reversal for high-risk patients
This trial tests a new carotid stent system used with a special blood-flow reversal device to treat blocked carotid arteries. It is for people with high-risk conditions who might not be good candidates for traditional open surgery, and aims to see if the stent is safe and effective in preventing strokes.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–79 - 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.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06924593Recruiting
Shunt for carotid artery narrowing
This study tests a new device that is placed through the carotid artery in the neck to temporarily block blood flow during a procedure to open up a narrowed carotid artery. It might be an option for people who have high-risk features that make traditional surgery more challenging.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06926010Recruiting
Blood flow monitoring for carotid artery surgery
