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+ - 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+ - NCT05724836Recruiting
Carotid artery narrowing treatment follow-up at clinic
This study follows people who are getting a procedure for carotid artery narrowing at the clinic. It aims to learn about outcomes after these treatments.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT05838547Recruiting
PET-MR scan study for narrowing in the carotid artery
This study tests how well a special PET-MR scan can help evaluate carotid artery plaque in people who have significant narrowing but no symptoms. It may help researchers better understand disease activity to guide treatment decisions like medication alone or medication plus surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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 - 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+ - 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
