Recruiting studies
- NCT07756775Recruiting
Comparing two imaging tests for stroke diagnosis
This study compares two imaging methods, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without contrast dye and a carotid ultrasound (Doppler), to see which one is better at finding blocked arteries in the neck that can cause strokes. The results may help doctors choose the best test for people who have had a stroke or a mini-stroke.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT07197970RecruitingPhase 3
Stent for blocked brain arteries
This trial tests whether a drug-coated stent can help people with severely narrowed brain arteries that have already caused a stroke or mini-stroke. It aims to improve blood flow and prevent future strokes.
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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT05850247RecruitingPhase 2
Study brain inflammation in carotid artery narrowing after stroke or TIA
This Phase 2 study looks at a protein called ficolin-2 and whether it relates to brain inflammation after a short stroke-like event or eye blood vessel blockage caused by narrowed carotid arteries. If you recently had symptoms from the carotid artery and meet imaging and health criteria, you may be offered study-related assessments to better understand the cause and help future treatment decisions.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT06319846RecruitingPhase 3
Tirofiban for recent mild stroke or TIA with narrowed brain artery
This trial tests the drug tirofiban (a blood thinner) to prevent another stroke in people who have had a mild stroke or high-risk TIA and have a narrowed artery in the brain. It must be started within 24 hours of symptoms.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 40 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 - 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+ - NCT06557135Recruiting
Arm vs. Leg Artery for Carotid Stenting
This study compares two ways to reach the blocked neck artery during a stent procedure: through an artery in your arm versus one in your groin. The goal is to see which route is safer and works better for patients who need this treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT07054060Recruiting
Surgery vs. Stenting for Recent Stroke Symptoms from a Narrowed Carotid Artery
This trial compares two procedures—surgery to remove plaque from a carotid artery or placing a stent to widen the artery—to see which is better for people who recently had warning signs or a small stroke due to a severe blockage. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to prevent future strokes.
ParisAges 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+ - 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+ - 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.
