- 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+ - 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+ - NCT07034157Recruiting
Ultrasound screening and treatment for artery disease
This study tests if using ultrasound to screen for blocked neck and head arteries can improve treatment plans for people getting heart artery stents. It aims to find hidden blockages and tailor therapy to reduce stroke and other risks.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06452173Enrolling by invitation
Risk prediction for stroke in carotid artery narrowing
This study uses MRI scans to build a risk prediction model for stroke and other cerebrovascular events in people with carotid artery stenosis (narrowing of the neck arteries). By participating, you help doctors better understand who is at highest risk, which may lead to more personalized treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06653387Recruiting
Testing a new carotid stent with blood-flow reversal for high-risk patients
This trial tests a new carotid stent system used with a special blood-flow reversal device to treat blocked carotid arteries. 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT06936189Recruiting
Extended follow-up study of IVL for carotid artery disease
This trial is collecting long-term safety and effectiveness data from patients who already completed a study of a device called IVL (shockwave therapy) for calcium buildup in the carotid artery. It does not require any new treatments or tests.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07104487RecruitingPhase 2
PET/MRI scan to detect inflammation in carotid artery disease
This study tests whether a special type of PET/MRI scan can help doctors see inflammation in the carotid artery after a stroke or mini-stroke. By using a radioactive tracer, the scan may identify which patients have dangerous plaque buildup that could lead to another stroke.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07462546Recruiting
Ultrasound monitoring during carotid artery stenting
This trial is testing a special ultrasound (called transcranial Doppler) to monitor blood flow during a procedure to open a narrowed carotid artery in your neck. The ultrasound helps doctors see if the procedure is safe and working well.
ShenyangAges 40 years+ - NCT07083986Enrolling by invitation
Surgery vs stenting for recent stroke patients
This trial compares two procedures to open a blocked carotid artery in people who recently had a stroke. One option is surgery (carotid endarterectomy) to remove the blockage, the other is stenting (placing a small mesh tube to hold the artery open). The goal is to see which works better for patients still having some stroke symptoms.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05968053Recruiting
Testing microplastics detection in neurosurgery patients
This study checks whether microplastics and nanoplastics can be detected in people undergoing neurosurgery. If it works, it could help doctors better understand possible material exposures around brain and nerve procedures.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT01732523Recruiting
Check if extra blood-vessel growth predicts stroke risk in carotid narrowing
This study looks at an imaging test to see whether signs of new blood-vessel growth in an artery predict future stroke risk in people who have carotid artery narrowing but no symptoms. If it works, it could help doctors identify who may need closer monitoring or preventive treatment.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT06862063Recruiting
Genetic study of spontaneous neck artery tears
This study looks at the genes of people who have had a spontaneous tear in a neck artery. It aims to find if there is an underlying genetic cause, which could help guide treatment for you and your family.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - NCT06887894Recruiting
Studying unstable plaque in the carotid artery
This trial looks at specific markers in the blood to better understand unstable plaque in the carotid artery. It may help doctors identify which patients are at higher risk for stroke.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT05692882Recruiting
Registry for stent treatment in narrowed brain arteries in China
This study records outcomes for people with significant narrowing in brain arteries who have treatment using a drug-eluting stent. It may help doctors understand how well this approach works and what risks or benefits to expect.
ChenzhouAges 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.
