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 - NCT07004673Recruiting
PET/MR imaging for carotid artery plaque risk
This trial uses special PET/MR scans to look at fatty buildup in your neck arteries to see which ones might be dangerous. It could help doctors better understand your stroke risk and choose the right treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - 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+ - NCT06542432Enrolling by invitation
Genetic risk test for heart disease prevention
This trial uses a polygenic risk score to see if knowing your genetic risk for coronary artery disease can help prevent a first heart attack. If you have an intermediate 10-year risk and no prior heart events, you may be eligible.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 40–70 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT04261478Recruiting
Treatment for stroke caused by blocked brain and neck arteries
This trial studies a procedure that opens blocked blood vessels in and behind the brain during a stroke, sometimes after standard clot-thinning medicine. It may help people who have brain tissue that can still be saved and a major blockage in both the neck and brain arteries.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT02240862Recruiting
Carotid artery disease registry for symptom and risk groups
This is a registry that enrolls adults with narrowed carotid arteries (with symptoms or no symptoms). It collects health and treatment information to better understand which patients benefit from procedures and when.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT04903912Recruiting
Study of people with blocked blood vessels or aneurysms
This registry study follows people with peripheral artery disease (blocked leg arteries), certain carotid artery narrowing, or an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve care over time.
NaplesAges 18–90 - NCT06887101Recruiting
Stress and heart risks in peripheral artery disease
This study looks at how stress affects heart and blood vessel events in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It aims to help understand if stress plays a role in worsening PAD or causing related problems like heart attacks or strokes.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT07247864Recruiting
Protected carotid stenting for narrowed neck arteries
This trial tests a combination of two tools—a balloon guide catheter and a filter—to make carotid artery stenting safer. It aims to prevent debris from reaching the brain during the procedure, which may reduce the risk of stroke.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07223593RecruitingPhase 3
Orforglipron for peripheral artery disease with leg pain
This trial tests a new oral medication called orforglipron to see if it can improve walking distance in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who have leg pain when walking. It may be a good option if you have PAD and your walking is limited by leg cramping, not other health issues.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07137104RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell therapy for stable coronary artery disease
This trial tests a new stem cell treatment (HeXell-2020) for people with stable coronary artery disease. It aims to see if it's safe and can improve heart function. You may be eligible if you have stable angina and are on regular heart medications.
New Taipei City, Banqiao DistAges 18–75 - NCT07036991Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for narrowed neck arteries
This trial tests whether adding a PCSK9 inhibitor to a statin is better than a statin alone for people with mild-to-moderate narrowing of the carotid artery (the main artery in the neck). It looks at how well these treatments slow plaque buildup and prevent strokes.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05465070Recruiting
Heat therapy trial for leg blood-flow problems
This trial studies whether applying heat to your legs can improve symptoms and function in people with peripheral artery disease (reduced blood flow to the legs). You may be tested with a simple blood-flow check and an MRI scan, depending on eligibility.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 50 years+ - NCT02829190RecruitingPhase 3
MRI test to map blood flow in neck arteries
This study checks whether a special MRI scan can measure blood flow in certain neck artery branches. It compares results in different groups (healthy people and people with past neck radiation or procedures) to see how well the scan works.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18–70 - NCT04847752Recruiting
Predicting outcomes after stroke from artery plaque
This study looks at factors that can help predict recovery and risk after an ischemic stroke caused by plaque buildup in a major artery. It may help doctors better forecast prognosis and tailor follow-up care for people like you.
WuhanAges Up to 80 years - NCT06231966Recruiting
High-dose statin combo vs. standard statin for artery disease
This trial compares a high-dose combination of rosuvastatin (a statin) and ezetimibe (another cholesterol-lowering drug) versus a standard rosuvastatin-only approach for people with peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries) or widespread artery disease. The goal is to see which strategy better lowers LDL cholesterol and reduces heart and limb risks.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT07205003Recruiting
Artery stiffness test for memory disorders
This study looks at how the stiffness of your carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) relates to memory problems. It involves a brain MRI that you may already have planned, and results could help doctors better understand certain types of dementia.
RouenAges 70 years+ - NCT07696533Recruiting
