Argon gas to protect brain function after carotid surgery
This trial tests if breathing argon gas during and after surgery can help prevent thinking and memory problems in patients having carotid artery surgery. If effective, it could speed up recovery.
MoscowAges 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT02850588Recruiting
Track outcomes after carotid stent or surgery
This study follows people who need a procedure to treat narrowed carotid arteries, comparing results after either surgery (CEA) or a less invasive procedure (TCAR). It mainly looks at patient safety and outcomes, which can help improve future care.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07611747RecruitingPhase 4
Ultrasound Screening to Prevent Heart Disease in Rheumatic Patients
This study tests whether using ultrasound to look at arteries in the neck can help prevent heart attacks and strokes in people with inflammatory joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Researchers will use the results to guide treatment decisions.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 50 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07247864Recruiting
Balloon guide catheter and filter protection for carotid stenting
This trial tests using a balloon guide catheter along with a filter to prevent debris from reaching the brain during carotid artery stenting. It may help people who have severe narrowing or blockage in the carotid artery and are getting a stent.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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.
