Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT05195658Recruiting
Stent vs standard treatment for acute carotid artery stroke
This trial studies whether placing a special device (a micronet-covered stent) can improve treatment of certain acute strokes caused by blockage at the carotid artery “bifurcation” (where the artery splits). It is meant for people who need an urgent, catheter-based procedure to open the blocked vessel.
KrakowAges 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 - NCT05629000Recruiting
Study of treatment planning after carotid artery narrowing
This study looks at an approach to better plan treatment for people with significant narrowing of the carotid artery (the main artery to the brain). It may help doctors choose safer, more effective care after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06511089RecruitingPhase 3
Carotid artery stenting during stroke clot removal
This trial tests whether placing a stent in a narrowed carotid artery during a procedure to remove a stroke clot improves outcomes. If you have a stroke with a blocked large artery and significant carotid narrowing, this study may be relevant to you.
GroningenAges 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+ - NCT06447740Recruiting
Stent vs. medication for narrowed kidney artery
This trial compares placing a tiny mesh tube (stent) to open the narrowed kidney artery versus continuing blood pressure medicines alone. It is for people whose high blood pressure is hard to control even with multiple medications and who have a blockage in the kidney artery that can be treated.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07762664Recruiting
Photon-counting CT versus regular CT for evaluating carotid artery narrowing before stenting
This study compares two types of CT scans to evaluate the arteries in your neck before you have a stent placed. The newer photon-counting CT may provide more detailed images, which could help your doctor plan the procedure more precisely.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 10–90 - NCT06722222Recruiting
New surgery for carotid artery narrowing
This trial tests a specific surgical technique called Gao's Triple Eversion Carotid Endarterectomy for people with significant narrowing of the carotid artery. The goal is to prevent strokes by removing the blockage.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Any age - NCT07556887Recruiting
Using IMPROVE to Choose Carotid Artery Treatment After Stroke
This study tests whether a new tool called IMPROVE helps doctors decide if you need surgery or a stent to clear a narrowed carotid artery (a major neck blood vessel) after a recent stroke or mini-stroke. The goal is to better predict which patients will benefit most from this treatment.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 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 - NCT07412249Recruiting
Arm pressure cuff plus stent for blocked neck arteries
This trial tests if using a blood pressure cuff on the arm (to briefly restrict blood flow) before and after carotid stent placement can help reduce the risk of stroke. It is for people who have recently had stroke symptoms from a moderate to severe carotid artery blockage.
ShenyangAges 40 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06899399Recruiting
Stent study for asymptomatic carotid artery blockage
This trial tests a stent procedure to open a severely blocked carotid artery in people who have not had a stroke or mini-stroke from that blockage recently. It aims to see if the procedure is safe and effective for preventing future strokes.
BeijingAges 40–80 - 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+ - NCT07166731Recruiting
Carotid stent vs. medication for recent stroke risk
This trial tests if a carotid artery stent plus medication is better than medication alone at preventing another stroke in people who recently had a stroke or eye blockage caused by a non-narrowing but risky carotid plaque.
Solingen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07150260Recruiting
Brain oxygen and artery pressure study during awake carotid surgery
This study looks at how blood pressure in the carotid artery relates to oxygen levels in the brain during awake carotid surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to protect your brain during the procedure.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT06959628Recruiting
Study of a new shunt system for carotid artery blockage treatment
This trial tests a special shunt system to protect your brain during carotid artery stenting. It may help people with severe blockages in the neck artery that supplies blood to the brain.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06936176Recruiting
Studying a new balloon procedure for calcified carotid artery disease
This trial tests a special balloon (IVL) to treat hardened plaque in the neck arteries that supply blood to the brain. It is for people who need a stent but whose previous balloon treatment did not work well.
BeijingAges 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.
